Adapted Sports Program
The Gwinnett HEAT is the coed, adapted sports program for Gwinnett County Public Schools. The adapted sports program gives physically-impaired students an opportunity to participate in athletic competitions.
Gwinnett County Public Schools supports the idea of providing sports opportunities for all student athletes. The system recognizes some student athletes cannot participate in regular athletics due to a physical disability or orthopedic impairment either acquired at birth or from an accident.

Fall: Wheelchair Handball
Winter: Wheelchair Basketball
