Special Olympics BC is excited to announce the creation of a new
sport initiative aimed at young athletes between the ages of 12 and
18 years. The program is designed to give young
athletes their first taste of an organized, sport-specific training
program. It has developed specifically for youth with
an intellectual disability and promotes the development of basic
motor and sport skills and game play in a fun and positive
environment.
Sport Start also provides information about the game being played
including the rules and history of the sport, promotes proper
nutrition and social network building, and acts as a source of
information about other programs and opportunities provided through
Special Olympics BC.
