Club Focus Connaught: Tuam Headford Special Olympics, Galway

Tuam Headford Special Olympics Club was founded in 2006 as a dedicated swim club.

The club expanded its horizons by introducing gymnastics in 2010 and today, operates as a multisport club offering swimming, gymnastics, and the Young Athletes program.

The club stands out for its diversity, boasting a wide age range of participants who bring their unique energy, talents, and enthusiasm to every training session and competition.

A Legacy of Competition and Success

Over the years, the club has participated in many competitions. Last year was no different, with the Rhythmic Gymnastics team travelling to Waterford in November for a competition, and the swimmers participating in a friendly meet, alongside the Brothers of Charity. While the club take great pride in sporting success, the true focus of the club remains the happiness, well-being, and development of the athletes.

A Call for Volunteers

As the club continues to grow, they face challenges in recruiting coaches and volunteers. To keep providing opportunities for all the athletes, they need your help. Whether you can offer a little time or take on a larger role, every bit of support makes a difference.
