Volunteer your expertise with Special Olympics Virginia to help identify athletes with flexibility, balance, and strength deficits. This will enable them to connect with coaches and healthcare providers in their communities.
FUNfitness is the physical therapy discipline of Special Olympics Healthy Athletes® that addresses the ongoing health needs of Special Olympics athletes. FUNfitness provides athletes the opportunity to be examined for flexibility, functional strength, balance, and aerobic fitness. During these screenings, physical therapists and physical therapist assistants offer athletes expert guidance and exercise recommendations to prevent and reduce the risk of injury while working to improve the athletes’ optimal function not only in sports training and competition but in everyday life.
