Young Athletes Of All Abilities Invited To Programs
In partnership with Special Olympics Indiana, Turnstone Center is excited to host the Special Olympics Indiana Young Athletes program starting April 30, 2025. With eight weekly sessions from 5:15-6 PM in the Plassman Fieldhouse, this program will run until June 18.
The program is open to all athletes with or without disabilities between the ages of 2-7. Participants will be introduced to basic sport skills like running, kicking, and throwing. It also supports the growth of critical motor, social, and learning skills. Turnstone chose to become involved with this program because it provided another inclusive opportunity for younger athletes to try different sports and discover what suits them. The general flow of each class will be intro, warm-up, individual skill practice, group activity, and closing.
“This is an exciting opportunity for young athletes because there are very few programs available for kids of all abilities, especially at such a young age,” said Jake Czechowski, Turnstone’s Sport Development and Outreach Coordinator.
