Sports
Special Olympics Wisconsin provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in 19 Olympic-type sports for individuals with intellectual disabilities 8 years of age or older.
Sports are separated into four sport seasons. Athletes train locally, compete at the Region/District level, and may qualify for the State level of competition.
Fall Sports Season
Six outdoor sports combine to form the Special Olympics Wisconsin Fall Sports Season. Three culminate at Fall Games, while the remainder has a standalone event (or pair of events) as its State Tournament.
Winter Sports Season
Four sports combine to form the Special Olympics Wisconsin Winter Games, held annually in north central Wisconsin.
Spring Sports Season
Basketball and Swimming events combine to form the Special Olympics Wisconsin Spring Games, held annually at UW-Oshkosh.
Summer Sports Season
Five sports combine to form the Special Olympics Wisconsin Summer Games–typically our largest Games–held annually at UW-Whitewater.
