The team sport is played as Unified Sports\u00ae in two different modes, which are organized by the SHV.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Competition Format<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:-12px;margin-bottom:-12px\">The \u00abTogether League\u00bb takes place in tournament mode. There is no age restriction, and people in wheelchairs can also participate in the \u00abTogether League\u00bb. It is possible for athletes to be accompanied by assistants, so that everyone can participate.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u00abUnified League\u00bb takes place in championship mode. Only players who are no longer eligible for U15 play are eligible. The team should consist of a balanced number of athletes and Unified Partners.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special Olympics Switzerland is also invited to international competitions and World Games.
