Serving the counties of Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Montgomery, Pulaski, and Wythe and the cities of Galax and Radford
Volunteers
Volunteers are the backbone of the Special Olympics movement. There are many ways to help: working directly with athletes in their training as either a volunteer or coach, assisting at an athletic competition or fundraiser or serving on the Council.
Sports
We offer year round sports training and competitions in 11 different sports. These provide opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate perseverance, experience joy and form friendships with other athletes and their families.
Sports
Whether your interest is competitive or social in nature, we want you on our team. We provide year-round athletic training and competitions all at NO COST to our athletes. Anyone age 8 or older who has an intellectual disability can become a Special Olympics athlete.

Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. This is the perfect place to start for younger and beginning players. Players receive more assistance and guidance as they learn new skills. Young players of all ability levels are welcome. Ideal for middle and high school students.
Each Saturday, Volunteers—partners and assistant coaches are needed.
