Sports
Special Olympics Connaught offers the following sports, Aquatics, Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Bocce, Bowling, Equestrian, Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Kayaking, Pitch and Putt, Table Tennis and Motor Activities Training Programme
Within the sports programme we provide competition on a yearly basis. The competition calendar operates on a 4 year cycle as follows: Area events, Regional events, Ireland Games and World Games. Athletes must compete at the first level of advancement in each sport in any given cycle to be eligible to advance. Please see the Quick Guide to Competition for further information.
We typically offer 1-2 competition opportunities per year in each of the above sports. We also run a variety of leagues in football, basketball, bowling and bocce which offer additional competition. We do encourage clubs to organise "inter club activities" (see Inter Club Guide) to supplement competition during the year if they wish to do so.
