Special Olympics provides  sports training and competition opportunities to children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Our athletes are like any other athlete, they like to train, they like to compete and win or lose, they always try their best.  The confidence and self-esteem they gain on the playing field carries over onto the playing field of life, helping to make them contributing members of their community.   We believe that Special Olympics is more than sports, it is "Training for Life!"

Become an Athlete

A sports season typically consists of 6-8 training practices. Practices usually take place one to two times per week in the evening or on the weekend. Each sports season culminates in a competition.  There is no cost to athletes participating Special Olympics.  

Athletes must be at least 8 years old to compete at a sports competition. Athletes between 6–7 years of age can practice, but cannot compete.
