Basketball - Youth

Owen Sound Sure Shots

Basketball is one of the top sports at Special Olympics. Players take it up at all ages and at all abilities, from young players learning to handle the ball and keep it under control while dribbling to older, more experienced players who have the moves and know the strategies to play challenging ball.  Basketball is a favorite Special Olympics sport. It's also one of the favorite sports for the Special Olympics Unified Sports initiative, when players with and without intellectual disabilities form teams to play other unified teams. It's a learning experience that's also a lot of fun.

 

We do hold games and scrimmages with other Special Olympics Basketball teams in Thornbury and Collingwood.
