ABOUT SONK
(Special Olympics North Kingstown)
Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success. Our athletes find joy, confidence and fulfillment -- on the playing field and in life. They also inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and potential. We have over 140 athletes from North Kingstown and other Rhode Island towns. Our athletes compete in traditional competition - against other athletes with intellectual disabiliites, and in unified sports - combining people with intellectual disabilities (traditional Special Olympics athletes) and without intellectual disabilities (called partners). We also prepare our future athletes with our Young Athlete's program for athletes ages 3 - 7 which combines areas of physical activity and play with an emphasis on sports skill development.
