Once again Special Olympics of North Carolina (SONC) is organizing the athletes of the state for another 10-week exercise program. Again each athlete has received their new packet but with some upgrades: a 10-week playbook (instead of two five-week ones), a calorie-counting jump rope and a cooling towel. And like last Fall, the exercise program for the week will be available online each Tuesday evening at 6 p.m.
But there are a few differences this Spring. The schools have been invited to join and theyâll be tutored through an online activity directed by SONC coaches. The online program for the elementary schools will be available from 10:30 to 11 a.m. every Tuesday, while the Middle/High School program will be at the same time, but on Thursdays. Teachers from each participating class will lead the exercises and keep track of results in the trackers provided within the playbook.
