Special Olympics Soccer Season


The 2010 Special Olympic Soccer Season was a great success. We had 30 athletes participate many who were returning and several new faces as well. We were very excited to see our new young athletes joining the soccer team. Each week athletes practiced hard and gave their all while learning new skills. Mesa’s teams played their hearts out at the regional competition. It was exciting to see our junior unified team compete for the first time this year. Mesa’s Individual Skills athletes did an amazing job as well, bringing home three gold’s and a silver. We are so proud of all our athletes. Their dedication, hard work and good sportsmanship is evident at practices as well as competitions. A big thank you to all the coaches, volunteers and parents for helping to make this season a successful and memorable one for all those who participated. MESA ROCKS!
