Hello everyone, 
Sports Extravaganza is a multi-sport event for students ages 0-22 (ages 18-22 not yet graduated from high school) with visual impairments and is held each October in Irving, TX. This event has sports and activities for students with visual impairments of all ages and abilities. Events include track and field, goalball, archery, golf hit for distance, low organized games for infants and VI/multiply impaired, and more! This is a 2 day event including the goalball tournament and lunch is provided free of charge on the second day (October 21 & 22) 

Sports Extravaganza for Blind and Visually Impaired applications were mailed last week! However, only athletes who attended last year are on our mailing list. So, please make sure we reach all the students within the state of Texas and all surrounding states and invite them to this great event. You may accomplish this by forwarding this email to all the CTVI, COMS, DBS, APE, parents and any others with whom you have contact. In addition, please make copies of the attached application and have them available at your professional development sessions and parent meetings.
