2019 Recreational Floorball - Mark the dates

The Chittenden Local Program is happy to announce the beginning of a new recreational floorball program.

This program will be held once a month this winter. We will meet up and form teams among those present and play a few floorball games.  

This is a recreational program, which means that it is open to anybody, even if you are competing in another Special Olympics sport.

You can also participate even if you have not played floorball before.  Floorball is an easy sport to learn and you will pick it up in no time.

This program is a fun way to exercise and  keep in touch with your friends.    Click=====>

First Chittenden Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe practice to be at the Burlington Bike Path, 1/5/19

Hi all, the Catamount Outdoor Family Center is closed and the weather will be mild so we will hold our first Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe practice at the Burlington Bike Path from 9:00 - 11:00 on Saturday 1/5/19. We meet at Leddy Park and walk the bike path from there. Bathrooms are available in the Leddy Ice rink. Athletes are required to attend the alternative practices to meet the 8 week training program. See you there!

Please support our local program with your donation

Hi all, I hope you are enjoying the Holidays! This is not a typical program update email. I am writing to ask for your financial support for our local Chittenden Program. As you know, Special Olympics does not charge athletes to participate in our program. That does not mean everything is free. Even though our local program is entirely run by volunteers, we have to pay for our facilities, equipment, uniforms and competition fees. Chittenden pays for all of this through fundraising events (such as our Flower Sale and our Calcutta) and donations. The more donations we receive, the less fundraising we have to do, it's that simple. So, I am asking for your financial support.  Below is a list of the sports we offer and the cost per athlete for each sport. Please consider donating to our program!

Sport	Athlete (1) Sponsorship*
Floorball	$30.00
Golf	$60.00
Soccer	$60.00
Bocce	$60.00
Softball	$70.00
Track	$70.00
Basketball	$80.00
Bowling	$100.00
Cross Country Ski & Snowshoeing	$130.00
Swimming	$130.00
Alpine Skiing & Snowboarding	$500.00
* Includes facilities, equipment and fees

Checks may be made out to Special Olympics Vermont with "Chittenden" in the memo section. You may hand checks to me or mail checks to:
