Gear Up for these August Sports Tournaments

The Summer Season at Special Olympics MA is wrapping up with the annual August Tournament of Champions. These events span four different sports (Softball, Cycling, Bocce, and Golf) and take place throughout Massachusetts from Springfield to the South Shore.

These state-level and regional tournaments include over 1,000 athletes from across the state along with their coaches, families and friends and take place throughout the month of August.  

Teams train and compete all summer long to reach this stage and will be competing at their highest level. Spectators are encouraged to stop by one of the venues to cheer on the athletes!
