Young Athletes Resources
Our Young Athletes Program is a fun and interactive way for children ages 2-9 to be introduced to the world of sports. Young Athletes with and without intellectual disabilities take part in inclusive activities that support cognitive, social and motor skill development. Children are also encouraged to try age-appropriate sports skills and make friends while playing together.
