W 121216 ADAPTIVE SPORTS 01
Gavin Tomlinson, 5, gets some instruction and encouragement from Georgia Southern student Kittie Lee at The Clubhouse bowling lanes during the regular Monday night meeting of Bulloch County's new adaptive sports league for local school-aged children.
There's a new league of athletes in town, and they're scoring big already. Thanks to the Special Olympics Committee, an adaptive sports league is now available in Bulloch County for differently-abled, school-aged youth, ages kindergarten through 12th grade. This semester, the exceptional athletes are participating in a bowling league, with plans for a track/field league and softball league in spring 2017.
