Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
Athletes may begin training as early as six years old, but must be eight years old to compete. Athletes must be 8 years old to attend statewide competitions. Thanks to the Young Athletes™ Program (YAP), which launched in 2005, children ages two through seven can participate as an “Athlete in Training” in areas where the program is available.
Special Olympics Texas has six statewide events annually: Summer Games, Equestrian, Sailing/Kayaking, Fall Classic, Winter Games and Flag Football. Statewide competition locations vary approximately every three years.
Special Olympics, Inc. holds World Games every other year and USA National Games every four years.
