OUR FEATURE PARTNER
Sportball Edmonton
Sportball Edmonton and Special Olympics Alberta are teaming up to offer an integrated multi-sport program for youth
5-8 years old. The Sportball Edmonton x Special Olympics Alberta program is designed to be a place where athletes with
and without an intellectual or developmental disability play, learn, and explore physical literacy and the basics of sport
in a safe and inclusive environment.
The Partnership Program will run for 10 weeks in the spring, and includes sports such as hockey, soccer, basketball and
more. Fort this pilot, we only have one location. In the future, if the program format works for families, we will look to
expanding to more of the many program locations Sportball offers!
Program Details:
Sundays, Apr 6 - Jun 22, 2025
Time: 10:55 AM - 11:55 AM
Location: Orchards Residents Association - 4059 Orchards Drive SW, Edmonton, AB
Ages: 5 yrs - 8 yrs
