SECTIONAL COMPETITIONS:
Sectional competitions are hosted by Special Olympics Pennsylvania for each training season (summer, fall, winter) in each of the three sections of the state (west, central, east).
Spring Sectionals Update: We will not be hosting Spring Sectional competitions this year but instead are working on a revised competition plan and schedule for the remainder of the Spring Season to afford as many opportunities to as many athletes as possible.
