2016 Special Olympics Chittenden Floorball

Our Chittenden program is excited to offer Floorball for the first time. Floorball is a game played with a small plastic ball, similar to a wiffle ball and a special lightweight stick that is a little bit shorter than a hockey stick. The rules of the game are similar to soccer. Last year coach Mario offered Floorball independently and now brings the sport to Special Olympics. 

Practice will be indoors at the Edge, 75 Eastwood Drive, South Burlington. The schedule is:

Sat, Oct 8, 16	01:00 PM	02:30 PM
Sat, Oct 15, 16	No Practice
Sat, Oct 22, 16	01:00 PM	02:30 PM

This is a demonstration sport for Chittenden this year. There will not be a statewide tournament. If our program is successful, Special Olympics Vermont will encourage other delegations to join the demonstration next year and we will be able to have a statewide competition!

2016 Chittenden Bowling practice

As you are all hopefully aware, Special Olympics Vermont is changing our sports season line up. Bowling is the first sport to see changes. This year, we will offer both individual bowling and team bowling competitions but our practice for both will be at the same time. Athletes may compete in both the individual tournament and team tournament or may choose only one. 

Your bowling coaches will need to know which tournaments you plan on competing in so that we can assign lanes appropriately. Also, please let us know if you have preferences for teammates. 

Chittenden's bowling practice will be on Sunday mornings at Champlain Lanes, 2630 Shelburne Road, Shelburne beginning Sunday mornings:

Please contact Karen or Dave Bogdan by phone (865-3840) or email (dbogdan@ieee.org) to sign up. We plan on having lane assignments for the first practice.  We also need to know your whether you plan on competing in individual bowling, team bowling or both!

Special Olympics and Fees:

Special Olympics offers all programs to athletes at no charge but you may not realize that local programs have significant expenses. These expenses are paid for by donations and local program fundraising. Last year, we asked our bowlers to donate the cost of bowling each week: $9.00 a week. Many athletes and families did donate and this helped us pay for bowling with less fundraising. We are asking bowlers again to donate $9.00 a week to cover the costs. Thank you for your support!
