MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Special Olympics Wyoming is to provide year-round sports training
and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic type sports for children and adults with
intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness,
demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and
friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS PHILOSOPHY

Special Olympics is founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can,
with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation
in individual and team sports, adapted as necessary to meet the needs of those with
special intellectual and physical limitations.

Special Olympics believes that consistent training is indispensable to the development
of an individual’s sports skills. In addition, competition among those of equal abilities is
the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress, and providing
incentives for personal growth.

Create the opportunity for challenge and personal triumph for athletes, their families,
