What this is, in plain language

Year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, grouped by age, gender and ability level, through local delegations such as Dallas ISD, FC Dallas and Equest.

Getting started

Register your athlete online through the SOTX Center of Excellence portal (a Spanish-language guide is available); a parent or guardian can register on the athlete's behalf, and only an annually renewed health history form is required.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • Provides year-round sports training and Olympic-type competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, with event divisions based on age, gender and ability level.
  • Area 10 delegations include ACEing Autism Dallas, Dallas ISD, the Dallas All-Stars, FC Dallas and Equest, among dozens of other school and community teams.
  • Athletes train for a minimum of eight weeks before each competition, led by volunteer coaches who must complete a certification programme and seasonal training schools.
  • A physician's signature is no longer required to register at local through state level — an annually renewed health history form is the minimum standard, and parents or guardians can register on an athlete's behalf through the online portal, with a Spanish-language registration guide available.
