Program Choices

A Spectrum of Choices

Special Olympics Illinois provides a spectrum of program choices for people with intellectual disabilities or closely related developmental disabilities. Athletes train for a minimum of eight weeks before competing.

All of the programs offered by Special Olympics Illinois provide athletes with the opportunities to develop the necessary sports skills, as well as the benefits of self-esteem, physical fitness and socialization.

While some athletes may go on to compete in community-based programs, others may choose to remain involved in the traditional Special Olympics programs. Either way these Special Olympics athletes have trained for more than just a sport, they've trained for life!
