Motor Activities Training Program (MATP)

Motor Activities Training Program (MATP) provides comprehensive motor activity
and recreation training for people with severe physical disabilities.

MATP is part of the commitment by Special Olympics Wyoming to offer sports
training and competition to Special Olympics athletes of all abilities.
Competition
Winter Games
Summer Games
Unified Sports Golf
Fall Tournament
National Games
World Games

The goal of MATP is not necessarily to prepare athletes with severe physical disabilities
to participate in sports. MATP participants may gain the skills required to compete in
more traditional Special Olympics events.

MATP is a non-competitive program that provides motor and sports training activities to Special Olympics Athletes with severe physical disabilities. In MATP, athletes are encouraged to strive for their "personal best" in a series of activities without comparison to others.

Events focus on:

• Mobility
• Dexterity
• Striking (a ball)
• Kicking (a ball)
• Manual wheelchair
• Electric wheelchair

Special Olympics Wyoming is interested in offering a MATP “Challenge Day” for athletes
to demonstrate their skills. Challenge Medals will be provided to any Area or Local program
interested in offering a challenge day.
