2020 Special Olympics SCV Spring Games

by | Feb 25, 2020 | Community

Our 18th annual Santa Clarita Valley Spring Games hosted by Special Olympics on Saturday, May 16, 2020. More than 700 Special Olympic athletes will compete for medals in basketball, track and bocce. Our games draw Special Olympic athletes from Antelope Valley, Glendale, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, Tri-Valley and Ventura County. The public is invited and encouraged to attend this free event and we are hoping to fill our stands with Fans-in-the-Stands to cheer on the athletes as they compete.
The 2020 Spring Games will begin on Saturday morning with the Opening Ceremony at 9:00 am at Hart High School Track. The ceremony includes the traditional Parade of Athletes, the dramatic arrival of the Flame of Hope®, and the lighting of the cauldron, which signifies the official start to the Games.
“This is the opportunity for our athletes to showcase their skills. If you are looking for a meaningful family event, plan to join us and experience the true meaning of sportsmanship,” said Wendy Ellet, Sr. Sports Manager, Special Olympics Santa Clarita. “These games are a great community event.”
Special Olympics has 24 teams competing in Basketball at three locations; Hart High School, West Ranch High School, and Boys and Girls Club, Bocce is held at Newhall Park with 22 teams signed up and Track will be at Hart High School with approximately 150 athletes competing in track and field events. Gold, silver, and bronze medals and ribbons will be presented by local Law Enforcement officers as the competitions are completed. This event is made possible with the help of 500 volunteers and with generous contributions from individuals and sponsors.
