Family Support

SOTX Families has resources, opportunities and support to keep you and your athlete healthy, well-cared for and safe.

Families are a fundamental component to the Special Olympics Texas program. Family involvement is important because:

  • Family members care about their athlete and are proud of them when they participate.

  • We are looking for suggestions and input from you on how to improve SOTX! 

  • Many times it is the family that encourages and assists the athlete in being able to participate.

  • Family members are often our most dedicated coaches and volunteers - they get things done!

  • Families see first hand what involvement in Special Olympics Texas can do to benefit their athlete; they believe in the mission.

  • Hear from the Garcia family, an SOTX Family, in the video below.
