Soccer (football) is probably the world's most popular sport for children and adults alike. Similarly, it is one of the most popular sports for Special Olympics Virginia athletes. Because it is easy to learn, soccer is appropriate for a wide range of age and ability levels. Athletes who participate in soccer are able to improve their overall physical fitness through training and competition. Because it is a team sport, athletes learn firsthand the benefits of playing as a team, which promotes communication, camaraderie and friendship.
