ON the 20th anniversary of Ireland’s (and Limerick’s) memorable hosting of the World Games, it is timely that the local branch is seeking new members and coaches.
Special Olympics’ mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
The new four-year cycle to the 2027 World Games, to be held in Perth (Australia) begins now with the return to activities following the Summer break. Many athletes will dream of making Team Ireland for those games, and those dreams start local.
