| Sports training and competition events happen every day at the local program level for Special Olympics North Carolina (SONC). Many of the athletes move on to area and state-level competition. SONC holds nearly forty area level events (qualifiers) and eight state-level competitions each year. Athletes are required to attend a qualifier in most sports before they can compete at the state level. Qualifiers enable sport staff to gather reliable scores and times for the athletes and to review teams in preparation for the state-level competition. Qualifiers also simply serve as another competition opportunity.
In 2012, SONC will also host the Southeast U.S. Region Alpine Skiing/Snowboarding competition as well as the Southeast U.S. Region Ice Skating competition. Athletes from across the state regularly get the opportunity to compete at the southeast region and national level. A complete list of state-level and Southeast events can be found to the left. Select any event to learn the details and locate all pertinent forms and information. The next state-level event will be the Basketball and Cheerleading Tournament taking place in March. |
