SUMMER GAMES
The 48th Special Olympics Delaware Summer
Games was held on Friday and Saturday,
June 8 and 9 at the University of Delaware
in Newark. More than 690 athletes and
100 Unified Partners from across the state
competed in six sports — aquatics, bocce,
powerlifting, softball, tennis, and track and field.
In addition, Young Athletes demonstrations
involving children ages 2-7 took place Friday
morning in the pool and on the track. More than
160 coaches provided training in preparation for
the competition and over 1,000 volunteers from
the community and corporate/venue sponsors
help make this event possible.
In addition to competing, athletes had the
opportunity to visit Olympic Village and
Healthy Athletes where they participate in fun,
educational, and health-related activities.
We wish to extend a heart-felt "thank you" for
all the hard work of all our coaches, volunteers,
sponsors, supporters, family members, and to
Delaware Law Enforcement for helping to make
a difference in the lives of our athletes.
