Special Olympics Sarasota offers Powerlifting instruction and competition opportunities to athletes throughout the year. Unlike other Special Olympics sports, Powerlifting participation is a year-long program, with competitions spaced during the fall and winter (county, area, and state indoor games) and spring and summer Open meets (i.e. AAU, ADFPA, APA).

Below are pictures from some of our competitions over the past few years. For more info, contact Team Coach Rich Lansky or assistant coaches Ann Lansky and Randy Miller.

Special Olympics Workshops leading to Volunteer Coach Certification are also held throughout the year at different parts of the state of Florida. For more info, contact, Rich Lansky, CSCS,
