About Us

Stark Public Special Olympics has been providing a variety of sports programs to Stark County school-age qualifying athletes for over 20 years. Approximately 100 athletes currently participate in the program with an additional 20-30 coaches and volunteers pitching in.

Our non-profit, independent, locally-funded, and volunteer-run organization is dedicated to athletic training and fair competition for Stark County’s Special Olympic athletes. No fees are assessed the athletes and no one is denied participation due to economic circumstances.

Known as the “Royal Knights,” they proudly wear uniforms of royal blue with white lettering or white with royal blue lettering.

We are affiliated with the Ohio Special Olympics and Special Olympics International. There is no sponsorship or affiliation with any specific school district or board of education, rather we are open for qualifying athletes across Stark County. We must rely solely on fundraisers and donations directly from our local community to continue our programs.
