About Young Athletes

Young Athletes is a sport and play program for children with and without intellectual disabilities (ID), ages 2 to 7 years old. Young Athletes introduces basic sport skills, like running, kicking and throwing. Young Athletes offers families, teachers, caregivers and people from the community the chance to share the joy of sports with all children.

Children of all abilities take part, and they all benefit. Special Olympics Washington provides an Activity Guide, equipment, and other resources to volunteers interested in beginning the 8-week program in schools, homes or community settings. Learn more here.
