Community Programs
Special Olympics Manitoba offers quality sports training programs and competitions to individuals with an intellectual disability from the ages of 2 years and up at the grassroots level.
These programs, which provide recreational and competitive sports programs in all seven regions of the province, are run entirely by volunteers at the community level throughout the year.
With 17 sports, both winter and summer, available in various areas, there’s something for every athlete. Contact us today to learn more!
Youth Programs
Special Olympics Manitoba offers youth programs designed to help children with an intellectual disability develop basic motor skills and sports skills through fun and positive movement. Active Start, along with FUNdamentals, is one of two initiatives developed by Special Olympics Canada for young athletes.
Active Start helps children learn basic motor skills in a fun and safe environment. FUNdamentals is a continuation of the Active Start program and transitions from basic movement skills to basic sport and physical literacy skills while maintaining an atmosphere of fun and meaningful interaction.
