County Selection

Areas

Special Olympics Indiana is divided into 10 geographic regions – known as Areas – within the Hoosier state. These Areas, led by teams of volunteers, offer Area-level competition and support for County Programs located within their regional boundaries.

County Programs

County Programs have a committee of volunteers responsible for making a year-round program of sports training and competition available to all eligible athletes within its boundaries. Though usually consisting of one county, some county programs may consist of two (2) or three (3) counties in rural areas or a portion of a county in urban areas. The County Coordinator is the person appointed to oversee the operation of a SO Indiana program.
