The Motor Activity Training program (MATP) is designed for those athletes with severe disabilities whose physical and/or behavioral limitations preclude participation in traditional Special Olympics team and individual sports competitions. The emphasis in MATP is on training and participation rather than competition. The program develops core motor skills that are linked to Special Olympics official sports and places an emphasis on achieving an athlete’s personal best. Through MATP, Special Olympics demonstrates that people with severe disabilities can also participate and benefit from physical activity and experience social inclusion through sport.

RSVP NOTE

We understand that life happens and sometimes things come up that may force people to cancel, however the organization is counting on us to follow through for them. Also, please be considerate of your fellow members' expectations for meeting up with those who have RSVP'd for the event.
