Special Olympics

Special Olympics is a sporting program for students with special needs.  We are also looking for student coaches to assist our athletes and Unified Sports.  If you would like more information, please contact me. 

In Homewood School District #153, we currently participate in the Basketball Winter tournament and Track and Field tournaments that take place during the school year.  We practice once a week after school.  During the summer, we offer bowling for those athletes who are interested. 

In the basketball tournament, athletes compete against other individuals to test their basketball skills for dribbling, passing, and making a basket.  

For the track and field tournament, athletes participate in two events to compete against other individuals which are meter runs and softball throw.

If your child is interested in participating in Special Olympics events, please see the brochure listed below and contact me, and I will send home a form that needs to be filled out and signed by the parent/guardian and the child's primary physician.
