Trinidad and Tobago will make history next month when they become the first to host the Special Olympics Regional Beach Games.
The Games will feature 130 athletes, 70 coaches, and delegates from 14 Special Olympics programmes across the Caribbean and North America, who will compete in a variety of beach sports, including aquathlon, beach bocce, beach soccer, beach volleyball and open water swimming, at venues in both Trinidad and Tobago.
CEO of the Digicel Foundation, Penny Gomez said the company was pleased to be associated with such an important event, noting that the dedication and commitment demonstrated by the special athletes and coaches is nothing short of inspiring.
Gomez said, “It’s a great honour for T&T to have been selected to host the inaugural Special Olympics Regional Beach Games, and this recognition of our very own Special Olympics T&T (SOTT) is very well-deserved.”
