KCSO Family & Friends

KCSO Family & Friends Currently we have approximately 96 registered athletes who live through out Kendall County ranging in age from 8-55 years of age.

Friends & Family Support Group for Kendall County Special Olympic "Comets" was formed to assist in providing a fun-filled and successful program for our athletes. Monitored through an internal Exec Board and sub-committees, the group provides volunteers and assistance at practices, games and events and assists in the coordination and implementation of fundraisers. Kendall County Comets, a local te

am and chapter of Illinois Special Olympics is in Region C of Special Olympics, Illinois and has been serving athletes with special needs since 1970. As our number has continued to grow, so have we. Our program endeavors to offer not only sporting activities, but also multiple social events and fun and supportive opportunities for athletes and their families. We have a caring support network of parents, coaches and volunteers that work tirelessly to ensure that Kendall County Comets is the BEST special Olympics club possible.
