Arlington Eagles
Advocates for Special People, Inc. trains and supports special athletes in our athletics program called The Arlington Eagles. We have approximately 75 athletes who are trained by our 20+ volunteer coaches. Our athletes are trained in bowling, volleyball, basketball, top golf, bocce, softball, as well as athletics (track and field). They compete in Special Olympic competitions at the area and state levels and have won many medals. We support them by furnishing their uniforms, paying their expenses for travel, lodging and food, and most importantly, we are on the sidelines cheering for our teams and individuals.
