Who is interested in participating in Summer Softball? The Preble County Special Olympics Summer Softball season is scheduled to commence this coming Monday, June 8th. This year, there will be a slight alteration to the format.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Henny Penny Foundation, we will be fielding two Preble County Cougars teams: a house team and a traveling team. Everyone is encouraged to sign up, and there will be three practice sessions held prior to team tryouts.

Monday's Softball Orientation will be at DP&L Fields 3&4, also known as Eaton Community Softball Fields. See you at 5:45 pm!

June is National Safety Month 🦺💙
At Special Olympics Ohio, safety is at the heart of everything we do — on the field, in our programs, and in our communities.

From Inclusive Health screenings 🩺 to fitness and training programs 🏃‍♂️, we work to ensure athletes have the knowledge, support, and resources they need to stay healthy and safe year-round.

This month, we encourage athletes, families, coaches, and partners to try something new when it comes to safety — ask questions, learn healthy habits, and take advantage of Inclusive Health opportunities designed for everyone.

Together, we build stronger, healthier, and safer communities 💪❤️
