SPORTS                                                                                                 About Us


Athletes from Special Olympics-Westmoreland County compete in sports at the local regional and state level.   Training is provided for each sport, either by the athletes school, community or social organization or by our Management Team.  After the county events, our athletes also travel around the state to compete in regional and state events sponsored by Special Olympics Pennsylvania.  Additionally, Westmoreland County athletes have competed at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia and the Special Olympics World Games.  Not only are athletic skills gained, but life skills are also learned through overnight and weekend trips.  Also, friendships are nurtured at all events.
