Special Olympics basketball is here at Hinsdale South.

Special Olympics Basketball is an extracurricular activity offered in the winter beginning in November running through February. Students must qualify to play on the team. This year we have 20 students participating on the team. The team competes against other high schools in the area as well as other recreational associations. Being on this team helps students learn about teamwork, cooperation, following rules and success. Students have a chance to participate in something that they might not be able to participate in with the rest of the students in the high school. These students really enjoy seeing people come out to support them and cheer them on. Whether they win or lose we always have a good time.

 

UPDATED SCHEDULE

 

Due to problems getting gym time we have had to make some practice at night. Students will have to take the bus home after school and then get a ride back to school at 6:00pm to begin practice. This will only happen a few times and I am very sorry for the inconvenience but this was the only way to get any practice times. I understand if your child will not be able to attend but this may mean that they will not start at the next game depending on what we cover during the practice. Also make sure that you pay attention to which team is supposed to play on which days. There are some days that are Black Team only or Gold Team only. Thanks
