Special Olympics PA York County provides year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.

All training and competition opportunities are provided free of charge to the athletes and their families, enabling everyone to experience the benefits of Special Olympics that extend well beyond the playing field.

Special Olympics York County currently has over 150 athletes participating in 15 sports programs. Our programs are supported by many volunteers, giving their time and talents and by the generous contributions from individuals, companies and organizations.

Jimmy's sports seasons are late summer and early fall, where you can find him practicing with Team York on the bocce court and bowling alley.  

 

Elizabeth doesn't let the cold weather interfere with her Bocce practices.  She just bundles up and hits the court.  She says being with her friends at Special Olympics Team York is a wonderful experience. 

Thanks for your help in making great experiences for our athletes.
