Join Special Olympics Norwalk!

A new Special Olympics program in Norwalk will offer athletes of all abilities opportunities to train and compete in sports and benefit from participating in health and fitness activities beginning this fall. Organizers are currently "recruiting" athletes ages 8 and up with intellectual disabilities, Unified Sports® partners - individuals without disabilities who will participate as the athletes' teammates - and coaches, with or without coaching experience.
