Welcome!
Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year! Special Olympics Ontario is looking forward to bringing new events, experiences and improved programming to our schools this upcoming school year! Both in-person and virtual programming are back in full swing!
Programs
Special Olympics Ontario (SOO) School Programs and events are available for students aged 2-25. Our programs assist student-athletes, with and without intellectual disabilities (ID), develop physical literacy, develop and practice social skills, learn about teamwork and inclusion, and be a part of their school’s sports teams. The programs we offer span all levels of education, from elementary schools, intermediate schools, and secondary schools, as well as universities and colleges.
Unified Sport
Special Olympics Unified Sport is an inclusive sports program that brings people with and without intellectual disabilities together through competition. It was motivated by the straightforward idea that friendship and understanding may be quickly attained via playing and training together. Teams in Unified Sports are composed of individuals with comparable ages and skill levels.
