Special Olympics

Our Mission

The Mission of Special Olympics South Dakota is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children (8 years and older) 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.

" Let me win, But if I cannot win, Let me be brave in the attempt." Athlete Oath

 

Special Olympics Unified Sports® is an inclusive program which combines individuals with intellectual disabilities (athletes) and individuals without intellectual disabilities (partners) on sports teams for training and competition. Lake Preston’s athletes and partners compete alongside one another, each in a meaningful and integral role on the NESC Rockets Unified Sports team.
