We wanted to share the latest update about the coronavirus (COVID-19) as it relates to Special Olympics programming here in Massachusetts, specifically our Young Athletes and Developmental Sports programs.

In light of the new recommendations shared by Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker’s Office and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that large public gatherings be cancelled or postponed, Special Olympics Massachusetts will take the following actions as of 3/19/20:

• Cancelling or postponing all Special Olympics Massachusetts events and trainings through May 9, 2020. This cancellation includes Young Athletes and Developmental Sports programs.

To continue reading the rest of the memo you can do so here.

With the ever-changing developments, we have decided to cancel the dates for this program scheduled during the month of May. With that said, we will now be shifting our focus towards planning for a summer/fall season program. If you’d like to register for the summer/fall season Young Athletes (ages 2-7) program, please complete the registration form below. Once we have dates and times confirmed, we will let you know through email.

While at home in these coming weeks, please check out our newly created Athlete Fitness and Young Athletes resource page on our website! This page is filled with great activity ideas, exercises, stretches and tips to help you stay active even when programs are cancelled.
