JC Parks Stars (formerly Special Olympics Jefferson City) is a year-round sports training program for any Jefferson City or Area resident, having intellectual disabilities or handicapping conditions because of cognitive delays.
Our athletes participate in the Special Olympics games. This provides athletes the opportunity to develop physical fitness, gain self-confidence, build a more positive self-image and form friendships with other Special Olympians.
Program Fees: All athletes will need to pay for their state fees as charged by Special Olympics MO (see registration forms). Transportation fee is $10 per trip per event.
All athletes are asked to participate in any fundraiser that Special Olympics Jefferson City offers to offset the cost of transportation to area, regional and state events, rent practice space and to purchase new uniforms and equipment as needed.
Age Divisions:
Youth (8-15 years old)
Adult (16 years of age and older)
Volunteer Coaches Needed - if you would like to volunteer to coach, please contact James Reinkemeyer!
