Bocce Sign Ups

Our summer bocce season kicks off in June, and we’re starting to gather athlete interest now. Bocce is one of the most welcoming and social sports we offer—perfect for athletes of all experience levels.

This will be a Unified season, meaning teams include athletes and Unified Partners playing side-by-side. We’re currently looking for athletes, partners, coaches, and volunteers to help build a strong, supportive team.

If you or someone you know may be interested, we’d love to hear from you (email us at westseattleso@gmail.com). Practices begin in early June, and we’ll guide you through everything needed to get registered and ready.

Reach out to share your interest or ask questions—we’re excited to build this team together.

Thank You to Our Early Sponsors

We’re incredibly grateful to the businesses and community members who have already stepped up to support Special Olympics West Seattle. Your early support is helping us build this program from the ground up and create meaningful opportunities for our athletes.

We’ll be recognizing our sponsors across our website, social media, and printed materials throughout the year—and we’re just getting started.

If you’ve been considering becoming a sponsor, this is a great time to jump in. May 1 is the deadline to be included in all printed materials for the 2026 season.

If you’d like to be part of this founding group, we’d love to connect.
