Clarke County School District’s adapted handball program allows youth with disabilities the chance to play a competitive team sport. WUGA’s Alexzundra Tillman caught up with the Classic City Dawgs at a recent practice to get an inside look at one of Athens’ newest teams.

Note: The first home matches of the Classic City Dawgs have been postponed and will not be taking place today, Sept. 28. A new date has not yet been chosen.

Alexzundra Tillman is a part-time reporter and producer. She is currently pursuing her masters degree in Film and Television studies at UGA and hopes to work at the cross section of these two fields in the future.
