HAPPY
HOLIDAYS FROM THE 2010 SPECIAL OLYMPICS USA NATIONAL
GAMES!!!
LETTER
FROM SPORTS OPERATIONS
DEPARTMENT
Hello
Sports Fans!
My name is Molly Orr, Director of
Sports Operations, which means I am overseeing all of the
Sport Committees that will be running competition for all
thirteen sports at the USA National Games. ! It is my
job, through the Sports Committees and Venue Teams, to
ensure that the athletes have a world class competition.
Each month you will be receiving updates on different sports
including updates on any Clinics/Demonstrations or
Exhibitions that might be occurring during the Games. For
example, the Games Organizing Committee is very excited to
be hosting the inaugural Flag Football event at the National
Level. Ten teams from eight states will be coming to
compete at the Mabel Lee Fields on the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln Campus. There will opportunities for
you and the athletes to watch night games, participate in
Coaches clinics, as well as an opportunity for the athletes
to test their own skills in an athlete clinic. With
such a strong Football tradition in Nebraska, this is a
great setting to highlight Flag Football as a sport within
Special Olympics. I am very happy to be a part of the
team here in Lincoln and look forward to seeing ! all of you
next summer!
