Special Olympics Rammies
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children 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.
All training and competition opportunities are provided free of charge to the athletes and their families, enabling everyone to experience the benefits of Special Olympics that extend well beyond the playing field.
The Chester County West Chester University Special Olympics Team is called the RAMMIES.
During the Fall semester, we offer Special Olympic Soccer for approximately 8-10 weeks.
During the Spring semester, we offer Special Olympic Basketball and Swimming for approximately 8-10 weeks.
