The City of Redmond's Adaptive Recreation Program is hosting
their 4th annual Soccer Jamboree for King County Special Olympics
teams on Saturday, April 25th from 9am to 4pm at Grass Lawn Park,
7031 148th Ave NE.
This event has grown considerably over the past four years, with
this year marking the biggest and best to date. In 2006, the
jamboree hosted 9 teams and a total of 13 games were played. This
year, 31 Special Olympics teams from all over King County will be
heading to Redmond to take part in the 51 games that have been
scheduled.
The jamboree provides a great opportunity for King County Special
Olympics teams to scrimmage against teams from all over the county.
Many of the coaches use this event to help determine what division
they should be competing in during the King County Regional
tournament scheduled for May 16th. In many cases, this is the
only time that a team will play another team until they compete in
the Regional tournament.
For more information about the Soccer Jamboree contact Barbe Wolf,
City of Redmond Adaptive Recreation Program Coordinator,
425-556-2330 or
