I have been a Special Olympics coach for over 27 years and the team I coach is Oxford Special Olympics. I am the sports coordinator for OSO and take care of all of the registration, maintain the website and monitor and maintain the Facebook group page. I am here to blog about our program - to share the stories, successes and photos of the people involved. You can find more information about Oxford Special Olympics by visiting the website www.OxfordSO.org or visiting us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/groups/OxfordSO Oxford Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all people with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympic athletes and the community.
