Wild Bunch Special Olympics

Wild Bunch Special Olympics Wild Bunch Special Olympics provides sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities of all ages in New Ulm and surrounding area.

The Wild Bunch Special Olympics team is founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports, adapted as necessary to meet the needs of those with intellectual and physical disabilities. We believe that consistent training is essential to the development of sports skills, and that competition among those of equal abilities is the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress and providing incentives for personal growth. The Wild Bunch as part of Special Olympics Minnesota believes that through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally and socially; families are strengthened; and the community at large, both through participation and observation, is united in understanding people with intellectual disabilities in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance. Our Values:
Respect – Valuing and accepting human differences and the unique abilities of all people in our communities

Accomplishment - Celebrating the fulfillment of individual potential

Choice - Providing opportunities for self-determination

Quality - Striving for excellence in all we do

Partnership - Achieving more than we can alone by collaborating with others

Integrity - Fostering a culture based on the highest standards of personal and professional principles
