What this is, in plain language

SONC's Fresno County programme offers free, seasonal training and competition — basketball, bocce, swimming, track & field, golf, softball, flag football, soccer, floor hockey and bowling — for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Getting started

Complete the Athlete Application before attending any practice — approval can take up to 5 business days — then register separately for each sport, each season, within its registration window. Contact the Fresno Sports Manager, Maddie Dick, at (559) 593-7647 or fresno@sonc.org with questions.
