We are excited to share that we are partnering with the Special Olympics Club at WPI to host a two week basketball skills program this spring season! Date, time and location information can be found below:
Dates: Sunday’s on April 24th and May 1st
Time: 10:30am – 11:30am
Location: WPI Sports & Recreation Center – 166 Salisbury St, Worcester, MA
Basketball is one of our Young Athletes (Level 2) activities. This can be a child’s next step in Special Olympics participation after they have gone through our Level 1, motor skill focused classes. Level 2 focuses on more sport specific skills and drills, and introduces young athletes to early game play concepts. Children ages 6-12 with and without intellectual disabilities are eligible to participate.
For this program, it’s important to note that WPI is requiring all participants and parents in attendance to provide a proof of vaccination or results of a negative PCR test, 72 hours in advance of the event dates. Please plan to have that information ready to provide at check-in each week.
We will be able to accommodate the first 15 registrations received for this program due to space and volunteer numbers. Please register through the form below:
