To keep families and friends informed of the various activities and sports regarding our Athletes.

Athlete Oath:
"Let me win; But if I cannot win; Let me be brave in the attempt" Goal
To help bring all persons with Intellectual disabilities into the larger society under conditions whereby they are accepted, respected and given the chance to become useful and productive citizens. Training For Life
For our athletes, the training never stops and the benefits last a lifetime. A 1995 Yale Universit

y study proved it: Special Olympics athletes do better at school, at work and at home than their peers not involved in our year-round sports program. We like to call it "Training for Life" - providing persons with developmental disabilities the opportunity to become physically fit, develop cooperation and social skills, and increase their self-esteem, all while competing in an Olympic-type sports program. Sports participation for our athletes is truly "Training for Life," and Special Olympics Maryland gives everyone a chance to keep that spirit alive.

It's that time of the year once again. Our Sailing Program is starting and I need skippers for the FJ boats our athletes use in the program. Please contact Coach John Dixon at [email protected] or me at [email protected] if interested. Thanks!
