Vision

 

It is a well-known fact that individuals with Down syndrome derive measurable physiologic and psychologic benefits from participation in physical activities on a recreational level.

 

SU-DS however promotes the opportunity as one in which they can also be competitive.  We strive to provide a platform where persons with Down syndrome can compete in their sport on the international stage.

 

We envision growing to such an extent that every country in the world will be represented at our events.

 

Ultimately, SU-DS aims to approach the International Paralympic committee for it to recognise the disability of Down syndrome as a new class.  This will ensure that these athletes, who also have physical limitations, no longer face the

disadvantage of competing against athletes with an Intellectual disability.
