Do Something Special with Special Olympics Northern California
Special Olympics NorCal extends well beyond sports to offer year-round health and wellness, schools, and leadership programs – all at no cost to athletes or their families.
Special Isn’t What We Are. It’s What We Do.
Check out how our athletes are redefining “special!”
Special Olympics Northern California provides free year-round programs for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. We offer training and competitions in 11 sports, inclusive schools programs, health & wellness activities, leadership training and more! Through the power of play, we unite people with and without intellectual disabilities to create a more connected community. Our programs transform athletes into leaders, and promote acceptance, unity, and respect throughout Northern California. For more information and to get involved, visit one of the links below!
