Sports Opportunities:


Area 12 Special Olympics offers a variety of sports and training programs. Currently there are 19 sports that are offered to the athletes. All of these sports have Special Olympics certified coaches. Area 12 has over 80 coaches that oversee the athletes and additional chaperones needed to provide a quality program. All of these coaches are registered with Special Olympics South Carolina. Each athlete is required to train a minimum of 10 weeks prior to a competition. Many of the athletes train all year long. This accounts for the many athletes that we have that win gold medals at the State Games. Area 12 has had representatives in the past 10 World Games.
