Eligible athletes have functional limitations in both general learning and in adaptive skills.
This typically includes all individuals with mental retardation, combination deaf-blindness, autism, traumatic head injury, and most individuals with cerebral palsy and specific learning disabilities. Students in Intensity Levels III - VI are eligible, regardless of their classification. Children ages six and seven may participate in Special Olympics training, but may not compete. We have many training opportunities and competitions that occur throughout the year both locally and at the state level. For more information on athlete opportunities, please click HERE .
