Mineral Wells athletes shine in all-inclusive leagues While high school football is king in Texas and has the main stage for the moment, there are athletes getting ready to take the court for an inclusion basketball league, hosted by Able Oaks Farms and their founder, Sheena Chan. “In a nutshell, the goal is to serve individuals with varying learning abilities and demonstrate what it means to be a community that values all individuals.

Registration is sponsored and there are no practices. It is open to 4th grade students up to adults, as well as volunteers known as “buddies” to assist some of the individuals on the court. For more information about registering your athlete or as a buddy, or any other questions you may have, contact Sheena Chan at ableoaksfarm@ gmail.com As if that wasn’t exciting enough, there are also 3 local athletes who are shining in Miracle League, a Weatherford league that allows players of all ages to play despite what their special needs are.
