New York Special Olympics (NYSO) is the largest of more than 50 US Programs, providing year-round
sports training and athletic competition in 22 Olympic-style sports. With the help of 30,000 volunteers in 38
area programs across New York State, New York Special Olympics, Inc., provides year-round sports training
and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-style sports for nearly 40,000 athletes aged 8-80. The goal of
New York Special Olympics is to make athletic training and competition available to the more than 400,000
individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities living in the state.
NYSO gives these individuals continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate
courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of skills and friendship with their families, Special
Olympic athletes, and the community. Through their participation, athletes gain confidence and build a
positive self-image which carries into the classroom, the home, the workplace and the community. Likewise,
the thousands of volunteers develop friendships with athletes and other volunteers, and experience the joy
of giving of themselves to benefit others.
Special Olympics is a worldwide movement founded more than 30 years ago by Eunice Kennedy
Shriver. Today more than one million athletes in 150 nations participate in certified Special Olympic
Programs. In Special Olympics the emphasis is placed on what people can do rather on what they can't do,
evident in the Special Olympics oath recited at every competition "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be
brave in the attempt. "
