Just think, every day, Special Olympics athletes are training and competing.

Special Olympics Arizona provides year-round training and over 170 competitions annually in 24 Olympic-type sports to over 9,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities.

• Special Olympics Arizona empowers people with intellectual disabilities to realize their full potential and develop their skills through year-round sports training and competition.

• As a result, Special Olympics athletes become fulfilled and productive members of their
  families and the communities in which they live.

  joyful.
