About:
Student-athletes from Irondequoit High School recently demonstrated the power of sports and community service through their participation in the Gliding Stars program.
Members of the Eagles hockey team volunteered throughout the season to assist skaters with disabilities in the learn-to-skate program. Gliding Stars provides children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to develop basic skating skills in a supportive environment while building confidence and independence on the ice.
During the program, Irondequoit players worked alongside participants, helping them practice skating fundamentals and encouraging them as they prepared for the program’s end-of-season performance. The experience created meaningful connections between the high school athletes and the skaters, highlighting the importance of inclusion in sports.
Programs like Gliding Stars show how athletics can open doors for individuals of all abilities while providing student-athletes with the opportunity to give back to their community in a meaningful way.
