2021 Spring Season – moved to VIRTUAL!
Special Olympics Washington Status Update
February 19th, 2021Special Olympics Washington staff, Area Leadership Teams, and volunteers are committed to
providing as much opportunity for athletes to connect as we possibly can during this unique
time. Please view below for major highlights and events happening now!Here are some updates related to our current and future seasons:
Special Olympics Washington will remain virtual for the 2021 spring season and will not
be hosting local, region or state events. No in-person training, practices, or
gatherings of any kind are permitted.Because of your feedback we are approaching our virtual spring season and
virtual competitions differently than we have the past three seasons. Rather than
offering athletes opportunities to train and compete in a set of sports, we are rallying
the greater Special Olympics Washington community – athletes, coaches, volunteers,
Unified partners, sponsors, friends, and family – around a six-week training and
competition program designed to keep everyone walking, rolling and running through
May and June. This will allow us to raise critical funds to continue programming now
and beyond the pandemic. It will be fun and engaging, and we cannot wait to tell you
more about it soon. Stay tuned!
2021 Summer Season
Special Olympics Washington Status Update
March 30, 2021Special Olympics Washington is currently reviewing our “Return to Activities” phase
plan to determine how we will allow participants to safely gather in small groups within
their own communities. We will continue to work on our updated plan with the
hopes to provide local in person for summer season. Summer in-person
participation is not guaranteed. We will have more information on the status of Summer season
and the State Summer Games the week of May 3.
