Additional Information on Special Olympics Young Athletes™:
Young Athletes is an early introduction to sports and to the world of
Special Olympics. The children learn new things, play and have lots of fun!

skills. The confidence boost makes it easier for them to play and talk with
other children on the playground and elsewhere.
