Summer Games, our largest statewide competition, is nothing short of legendary thanks to the overwhelming support of more than 3,000 local volunteers who brave the summer heat to assist more than 1,200 Special Olympics Virginia athletes each June. Athletes come from all corners of the state to compete in swimming, powerlifting, softball, track & field, bowling and tennis.
This event also features our annual Healthy Athletes expo, a go green Pot-a-Plant initiative, as well as hundreds of enthusiastic fans in the stands, thanks to our Volunteer to Cheer program! Stay tuned for this page for more Summer Games information as it becomes available.
