Competitions

Athletes train for a minimum of eight weeks for the sports they participate in. From there, they can participate on a local level, followed by area, and sometimes regional competition for their opportunity to compete on a state level. For some, opportunities go beyond the state level to national and even World Games.

State Bowling

The State Bowling consist of two competitions: East and West. 

State Summer Games

The State Summer Games consist of four sports: Track & Field, Powerlifting, Swimming and Volleyball. Our Summer Games occur every Summer.

State Outdoor Games

The State Outdoor Games consist of five sports: Flag Football, Bocce, Golf, Tennis and Softball. Our Outdoor Games occur every Fall.

State Pickleball

The State Pickleball Tournament is in its inaugural year, and it will occur every summer. 

USA Games

Every four years, the Special Olympics USA Games provide an opportunity for athletes to compete at the national level in summer sports.

State Basketball

Our State Basketball Competition is held every year in the Spring.

World Games

In addition to competing on the national stage, Missouri athletes have the prestigious honor of representing their country on the global stage as part of the Special Olympics World Games.
