Virtual Programs

Want to be a part of the UF Special Olympics community but cannot make events in person? No problem! We have many opportunites for virtual engagement with our Alachua County athletes.

Sunday Check-ins allow time each week to talk with fellow athletes and friends about anything! From a recent sports game to everyone's favorite dessert, each check-in converstation connects athletes that may not be able to attend in-person events. These take place on Sunday afternoons on Zoom and last between half-an-hour to an hour.

This program pairs students with a workout buddy, in which partners meet weekly to work general fitness and strength. UF students lead and organize workouts with their buddy depending on ability while also building a connection at the same time!

Workouts can take place on Zoom or FaceTime depending on preference, with each workout being at least half-an-hour.
