Special Olympics New Jersey made the difficult decision to CANCEL the Winter Games Floor Hockey and Volleyball tournaments scheduled for January 8-9, 2022. This was not an easy decision, but we have prioritized the community’s health and safety from the beginning of the pandemic and will continue to do so now as we navigate this ever-changing situation. The Winter Games events for February 6-8, 2022 at various locations in North Jersey, including Mountain Creek and The National Winter Activity Center, are still on as scheduled.
