Young Athletes<br />
Young Athletes is a sports play program for children ages 2-7 with<br />
intellectual disabilities and their peers, designed to introduce them to the<br />
world of sports. A number of our Young Athletes are joining us at Summer<br />
Games for the fourth annual Young Athletes Statewide Culminating<br />
Event & Exhibition Events. On Friday, starting at 10:30 a.m. you can find<br />
transitioning young athletes between the ages of 6-8 participating in the 50-<br />
meter-dash on the track followed by the softball throw. At 1:00 p.m. on<br />
Friday and 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, all children ages 2-7 who have<br />
participated in a local Young Athletes program have been invited to<br />
participate in sport skill stations that make up the Statewide Culminating<br />
Event. Around noon both days there will be a family picnic for all families to<br />
attend and network near the Concessions Tent. To learn more about the<br />
program visit the Family and Friends table from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come<br />
cheer on our future <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Olympics</strong> stars and learn what Young Athletes<br />
is all about!<br />
Photos, Arts, and Crafts<br />
Don’t know what to do between events? Come join us at the Arts & Crafts<br />
Area on Friday for some creative fun! All athletes are encouraged to stop<br />
by the Arts & Crafts Area to have their picture taken in the Board for People<br />
with Developmental Disabilities photo booth, located in Victory Village.<br />
Photos will be taken between 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and will be available for<br />
immediate pickup.<br />
FAMILY INFORMATION TABLE & FANS IN THE STANDS<br />
Stop by the Family Information Table on Reserve St. to get information on<br />
when athletes are competing and maps of the campus. Family members<br />
can also receive the 2013 family pin.<br />
An exciting feature at the Family Information Table is Fans in the Stands!<br />
SOWI staff will be searching the stands for the Ultimate Fan, and athlete<br />
judges will determine the winner who will receive an R-Word T-shirt (sign<br />
up for the contest at the table; no roaming fan squad will be searching the<br />
stands this year)! To guide fans in becoming the Ultimate Fan, SOWI will<br />
be providing materials to make signs to cheer on the athletes! Fans may<br />
also borrow items to cheer with such as cowbells, thunder sticks and pompoms.<br />
