Special Olympics Wisconsin - Agency 7-05
Lakeland School offers a variety of athletic opportunities for our students to participate in the Special Olympics. We offer many sports during the school year and provide training and opportunity to compete in athletic competitions against other athletes with intellectual disabilities 8 years of age or older. Athletes train in their sport, compete at an area level, and may progress to the state level of competition. Information about competition forms, rules, and schedules for each sport can be found on each sport’s page.
**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT**
Special Olympics Wisconsin is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of our athletes, volunteers, coaches, officials, staff, and all that contribute to the success of our athletes in training and events. We have implemented a Return to Play plan in accordance with Wisconsin Department of Health Services data to determine phasing of practices and in-person competition.
