Soccer

Football is considered the world’s most popular sport for children and adults around the world. Similarly, it is one of the most popular sports for Special Olympics athletes. Athletes are able to improve their overall physical fitness through training and competition.

We offer Unified Soccer, Team Soccer as well as Individual Skills. For information on Unified Soccer, please see our Unified Sports Section. Athletes who participate in Individual Skills will be scored in three skills tests. These tests are Dribbling, Shooting, and Run & Kick at the District Qualifier. Team Athletes will compete against other teams in the surrounding area as well as at the district Qualifier. All Athletes that earn a gold medal in our Qualifying Competition will be eligible to attend Summer Games.

Athletes who qualify for Summer Games in multiple sports must choose one sport to compete in at the competition. Athletes who are on a qualifying soccer team must choose to participate in Soccer Team at summer games.

Registration opens in February and the season runs through June.
