Meet the Team

We are a team of Special Olympics Minnesota, offering those with intellectual disabilities sports training and competition opportunities.  Our athletes discover new strengths, skills and success. We know no boundaries.

Through practice and competitions, our athletes achieve joy and acceptance. We do so by upholding our number one rule – HAVE FUN!  And we have plenty of opportunities to do so – fall, winter, spring and summer.

Get Going!

We practice in northern Dakota County (but welcome all).  Pick a sport (or two) and get going:  We offer team and individual sports:  Alpine Skiing, Basketball, Bocce, Bowling, Flag Football, Floor Hockey, Softball, Swimming, and Track and Field.

PLUNGE DAY

On Saturday, February 29, the South Region Stars community will be taking a leap into the waters of Bde Maka Ska.  Whee!  For starters, go the team website to register and/or to contribute to one of the participants. Here’s the link: Go Here.

What?  Freezing water is not your thing?  Then go for the  Minneapolis Frozen Walk/Run 5K , starting at 8 am that morning.  Think of it as a refreshing stroll around the lake.  Same registration location.

Here’s our Polar Plunge Toolkit

WE NEED YOU!!!

Whether you plunge, walk, or contribute doesn’t matter.  What DOES matter is is that the proceeds raised by 12.SRG South Region Stars and Becky’s Bathers will be split between Special Olympics and our team.  It’s a win-win for everyone.   Here’s more info about the fundraiser – it’s going to be great! Go here.

Outstanding!

Athlete Maya Rivera had an amazing experience last summer, when she represented the US at the World Games in Abu Dhabi.  Maya was among the athletes who competed in bocce, and she returned to the States with medals, ribbons, and stories. We’re so proud of you Maya. You were brave, you had courage, and we’re so lucky to call you our Star.

And congrats, too, to the Stars who represented Minneosta at the USA games in 2018: Sarah Haugen (swimming); Charlie Rea (bocce) and Russell Greenhalge (bowling).
