Special Olympics Volleyball in Georgia
Volleyball is a fun game where you get to jump, use your hands, and work as a team. In Area 7 of Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA Area 7), we can connect your family to a volleyball team in Baldwin, Bibb, Jasper, Jones, Monroe, Putnam, Twiggs, or Wilkinson County so your athlete can start training right away.
Benefits of Volleyball
Volleyball, like basketball, is a sport that can be played almost anywhere. There are only a few rules and skills athletes need to know to get started. Volleyball has a number of physical and emotional benefits, too, such as:
- Development of social skills and communication
- Sharing the gift of winning
- Being part of success
- Upper body and lower body strength
- Development of hand-eye coordination
- Development of reflexes
Special Olympics is a transformative experience that reminds us of the power of determination, heart, and will. Professional coaches, family, volunteers, and teammates work together to make a positive difference so everyone who wants to enjoy the exhilarating power of sports can.
