Sport for People with an Intellectual Disability

Special Olympics Isle of Man provides year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with an intellectual disability.

Through sport, we give athletes the opportunity to get fit, develop skills, make friends and be part of a community.

People with an intellectual disability are often misunderstood or ignored, yet when they are given a fair chance they can, and do, participate as valuable members of the community.

Special Olympics provides sport for all people with an intellectual disability, regardless of their skill level. We cater for athletes who just want to participate right up to elite athletes who want to compete on a world stage. And with local, state, national and international competition we give them plenty of opportunities to do their best.
