In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the success of a unique adaptive sports program in Utah County, which is currently the only one of its kind in the region. The program, which caters to children aged 5 to 12, has attracted around 60 participants from various cities, including Draper, Pleasant Grove, and Saratoga Springs.

Shaylee, a key figure in the initiative, received praise for her efforts in developing the platform, which aims to provide inclusive sports opportunities for youth. The program has sparked interest from other cities, with American Fork planning to host soccer in the spring and Orem set to offer baseball in the summer. This collaborative approach among cities is seen as a way to enhance sports offerings across the area.

Despite the program's success, it was noted that similar adaptive sports initiatives are not widely available in other cities, making Utah County a standout in this regard. The meeting underscored the potential for growth, with requests for older age groups indicating a demand for expanded offerings in the future. The officials expressed enthusiasm about the program's impact and the renewed sense of purpose it has brought to the community.
