Team Information

The Robins BLUE team is an Adapted Athletics team for students with Cognitive Impairments. The Robins are a co-ed high school varsity sports team. Each year our team plays Adapted Soccer (Fall), Adapted Floor Hockey (Winter) and Adapted Softball (Spring). All of our games are held indoors in a gymnasium against 10 to 15 teams (depending on the sport) from all over the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. Adapted Athletics is an official varsity sports program and a member of the (MSHSL). Our team covers students in grades 7-12 from Robbinsdale Armstrong High School, Robbinsdale Cooper High School, Hopkins High School and Mound Westonka High School as well as those districts Middle Schools.

The Robins BLUE adapted team was started in 1990 as the Robbinsdale Robins and represented the Robbinsdale District #281 Area Schools. In recent years our program has partnered with nearby school districts to allow more students the opportunity to play adapted sports and generate the interest to possibly generate new teams. Hopkins, Wayzata and Mound Westonka schools have been a part of our program in recent years. The team name the Robins comes from the old Robbinsdale Senior High School Robins.

Adapted Athletics is a great opportunity for students with disabilities to be on a competitive sports team and earn their varsity letter from their high school. This program allows students to learn and play team sports while competing against teams from around the state. The social opportunities of being on a team are highly important, students really enjoy and succeed in this program.
