Special Olympics Montgomery County
Welcome to the SOMC website!
We hope this site will provide everyone involved in the program, as well as those interested in becoming involved, with easy access to the necessary information and tools.
SOMC is re-starting its Tennis Program in Spring 2010 - Update
 Practices will begin Sunday, March 7th starting at 1:30 until 3:30 PM at Gwynedd-Mercy College, 1325 Sumneytown Pike, Gwynedd Valley, PA 19437. Due to the weather we will not be playing tennis on March 7th, however we would like to take the time to collect paperwork (medical forms), hand out tennis flyers, and get to know each other better. Most likely we will move to a warmer location, but lets all plan to meet March 7th at 1:30pm at the Gwynedd-Mercy tennis courts. The head coach is Mansee Patel and the assistant coach is Allison Handman. For more information email us at somctennis@gmail.com or call (570) 574-1956. Remember we are on Facebook (name: Somc Tennis; group name: SOMC Tennis Team). We will make practice schedule updates on there as well.
