Resources

Shelby County Special Olympics offers year-round team sports training and competition opportunities for individuals with disabilities ages eight and older.  Participating in Special Olympics can help athletes gain confidence and build a positive self-image through physical, social, and psychological development.

Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics.  From a fan in the stands to cheer on our athletes to coaching, photographing, or using medical training to ensure the safety of our participants, there are opportunities for everyone. If you are interested in participating in activities or volunteering, please contact Jessica Guillozet.
