wide variety of sports without worrying about “making the cut”.
◦ No matter of your age whether your 8 or 60 you can still join (there is no age limit).

3. What sports do they offer?
◦ There is many different sports like….
◦ Basketball, soccer, track & field, bowling, swimming, powerlifting, snowshoeing, golfing, and
more….

4. Social Media
o Special Olympics has Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
o All these sites is where athletics check to see if there is any updates on
tournaments or cancellations.
o Facebook is the most effective site.

5. Overall
◦ I have learned that special Olympics prides them selves on seeing their teams win or
lose on their games only if all the athletics have tried their very best.
◦ A team is not only one person, its all the people on the field/court.

6. How do you contact them?
◦ If you would like to join the team you have to go to
