Young Athletes In-Person

Special Olympics' Young Athletes is a program designed to bring together kids of all backgrounds and abilities and help teach them about the joy of sports. Participants develop not only their gross motor skills with games and activities, but they also learn healthy active habits and good sportsmanship, like sharing, taking turns and following directions.

Kids will have fun and get stronger while also making new friends from a variety of backgrounds. Young Athletes is geared towards ages 2-7 but older siblings are welcome to join and assist younger siblings.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged but not required. Please only register participating children and not parents. 

Before first participation, Special Olympics requires parents/guardians to fill out their own form, which can be done ahead of time or at the program. This form only needs to be completed once.

You can also check out the Young Athletes app for more fun: Apple | Google Play
