The Special Olympics is an inclusive sports program for people with Intellectual challenges from the ages of 2 years to 100 years and up! The Special Olympics is a provider of year-round training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual challenges. They offer support & friendship for both athletes & families and you do not need to be attending a school to be involved. This is a great opportunity for any one to become involved as a coach and/or volunteer, as full training and on going support and/or development will be provided if you are interested in this endeavour.
They have a Young Athletes Programme if you are interested, they even play Bocce (Pronounced Bockey) & have an Athletics Programme.
