Softball

Softball is an exciting team sport in Special Olympics. Athletes play slow pitch softball, which involves two teams of 10 athletes each. Athletes of lower ability can compete in tee-ball or individual skills contests with events that emphasize the basics of the game, such as base running. As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions according to their ability level, age and gender.

Special Olympics Softball, as well as all of our sports, follows the National Governing Body sports rules. Softball is still in its developmental stages for Special Olympics Charles County. SOCH currently offers softball skills development.

Softball is contest at the Special Olympics Maryland Summer Games held at the University of Maryland College Park.
