Every four years, Special Olympics conducts a national summer games in the United States that includes athletes from all 52 US Programs.

The 2018 Special Olympics USA Games will bring 3,500 athletes to the greater Seattle area to compete in a variety of sports. Hosted at some of the region’s top athletic facilities including the University of Washington, King County Aquatics Center and Federal Way’s Celebration Park, the USA Games will offer athletes, their coaches, and families a week of national competition while surrounded by Seattle’s beauty and world-class attractions.

TEAM UPDATES/MOBILE APP

The best way to stay in-the-know with how Team Missouri is doing while we are out in Seattle is through our mobile app. We will send out nightly newsletter recaps to those of you on our email listserv, but for real-time updates, you will want to have the mobile app. It's a great way to track the team, look through all of the newsletters in one section, see the daily schedule, read up on delegate bios and see the user-posted photos from the Emerald City.

Whether you will watch Team Missouri athletes compete in Seattle or you just want to follow their progress from afar, the Team Missouri mobile app has feature to enhance your experience cheering them on:

SO MUCH MORE!

There are two ways to download our app:

1. Open the app store on your mobile device and search ‘Whova.’ Once Whova is downloaded, open that app and search ‘Team Missouri’ or ‘USA Games’ and select ‘2018 USA Games: Team Missouri’ and you’re good to go.
2. Scan the QR code in the poster below to take you directly there

We will also be sending out nightly newsletters updating you on the progress of Team Missouri. Those newsletters will be emailed AND posted to the mobile app. If you want to receive the newsletters and updates, but don’t want to sign up for the mobile app, please email Schatsiek@somo.org. The best way to stay up-to-date as competitions are going on, however, is to download the app and receive real-time alerts from Seattle!

We are still working on adding a few things here and there, so make sure you check back in near the end of June to get the full experience.
