We are primarily focused on the local population of Adults (22 and over) in our Area with intellectual disabilities who want to participate in a competitive sports environment. While there are a few limited slots for younger athletes, they are most commonly supported within school programs until they age out..

We currently offer over 20 different sports, with activity in all seasons.  The full set of sports and the points of contact can be found here .

We - Area 26 covers all of Fairfax County, Arlington, Alexandria and the cities (both incorporated and unincorporated) within (Fairfax City, Falls Church, Herndon & Vienna).  Loudoun County is in Area 14, and Prince William County is in Area 23.

NOTE: Our Area has the largest athlete population in Virginia, and as students age into the program we have more athletes than we have space for. Due to this fact and to the continually increasing facility costs for Out-of-Area participants, we must give priority to Athletes who reside in Area 26. 

ALL Special Olympics programs are locally funded.  While you may receive solicitations from the State - SOVA, National - SONA and International organizations - SOI, any funds donated to them do NOT flow down to the Areas.  We are 100% donor and local-fundraising supported, and rely on volunteers for all Coaching and Chaperoning.  If you would like to help out, you can donate to our program, or contact us to become a volunteer.  Links to do both are at $upport (this will take you to our Tournament Donation Page, which is our primary fundraising event) and Volunteer.
