The Winter Sports season begins the last week of November and ends the first week of March. For us, it starts in January as we do not normally have athletes competing in all the sports offered. Hopefully everyone filled out their intent form. If not check your email. This will help us plan for the coming year.
Here are the Winter Sports options offered by us and those offered by Special Olympics RI:
Practices: Monday nights @6:30 PM, Horgan Elementary School.
Athletes are welcome to come early for the skills session of practice.
Games: Wednesday nights at various locations and times. Game details are communicated either at the end of the week for the following week or at the beginning of the week.
Tournament: The season will end in February/March with a tournament at Providence College (PC). Updates will be sent via the Game Changer app.
Practices: Monday nights @5:30 PM, Horgan Elementary School.
Special Olympics Rhode Island (SORI) has added an additional level for Basketball Skills groups. Athletes will be evaluated and moved up to 'Skills 2' when they are ready.
Completion: The season concludes with a competition at the Providence Day County School (660 Waterman Ave, East Providence, RI 02914).
This is new for the Wildcats this year! Teams will consist of two athletes and two partners.
Practices: Start Tuesday, January 7th @4:30 PM at Meadowbrook Lanes (2530 Warwick Ave, Warwick, RI 02889).
Team Formation: If anyone has a preferred partner, please let us know at practice. The first couple of weeks will focus on forming teams.
Tournament: Dates and details will be provided as the season progresses.
These are state programs run by Special Olympics RI. Your Wildcats coaches and volunteers do not directly run these programs. Any athlete interested will need to arrange their own transportation to practices and events.
Enrollment Support: We will assist athletes with the enrollment process for any of these sports.
