The Motor Activity Training Program (MATP) Training Days introduce team sports to the severe and profound as well as those who are unable to participate in the traditional Special Olympics programs. Activities, such as bocce, ramp bowling, balloon volleyball, team basketball, basketball shoot, batting, ball darts, golf, shot put, race walk, and wall pass are modified to allow youth and adults to participate as a team or an individual. Volunteers and adaptive equipment are on-site to assist the athletes as they participate in each event.
