Friends & Family Support Group for Kendall County Special Olympics was formed to assist in providing a fun-filled and
successful program for our athletes. Monitored through an internal Exec Board and sub-committees, the group provides volunteers
and assistance at practices, games and events and assists in the coordination and implementation of fundraisers.
Kendall County Special Olympics is in Area 2 of Special
Olympics, Illinois and has been serving athletes with special needs since 1970. KCSO
maintains their program through Kendall County Special Education Cooperative. Currently
we have approximately 55 registered athletes who live through out Kendall County ranging in age from 8-55 years of age.
As our number has continued to grow, so have we. Our program
endeavors to offer not only sporting activities, but also multiple social events and fun and supportive opportunities for
athletes and their families. We have a caring support network of parents, coaches and volunteers that work tirelessly
to ensure that KCSO is the BEST special olympics club possible.
During the Fall and Winter of 2009 our families and athletes voted
on what we, as a group, would be known as. In the Spring of 2009, the KCSO Comets was announced as our own special group
name. Watch out for the Comets---we're Shooting for the Stars and Shining Bright!
