The Special Olympics was founded in 1968, and today includes almost 4 million athletes in 170 countries.  The programs main goal is to provide access and opportunity, because research and experience proves that sport can have a transformative effect, promote physical fitness and increase skill acquisition in those with an intellectual disability.

I have been volunteering with the Victoria Special Olympics for 2 years as an assistant coach.  I have worked with the Floor Hockey teams, the Track and Field athletes and the Soccer team.  I have travelled with the athletes to 3 'out-of-town' events and shared with them their wins, their losses and their improvements.
