Special Olympics is a charitable, non-profit organization that provides sports training and competition opportunities for individuals with an intellectual disability. Its primary objective is to contribute to the physical, social, and psychological development of people with intellectual disabilities through positive, successful experiences in sport.
Barrie Special Olympics provides year round athletic programs for over 200 athletes in 13 different sports.
These positive experiences help build self-confidence, self-esteem, pride, and a great sense of accomplishment.
Everyone deserves a chance to triumph, to overcome the odds and show the world that their ability is not their disability.
Special Olympics is about the lessons learned on the playing field and the impact on life skills. Sports training teaches important lessons about perseverance, endurance, and setting goals.
Over 125 volunteers and coaches donate their time and effort.
