Meet the Team

The 2011 Special Olympics Team USA Soccer squad comes from St. Mary's County, Maryland. The team has not lost to an American Special Olympics team in over eight years. In 2009, the squad won the Maryland State Championship in the Unified division (playing against teams mixed with Special Olympians and their partners).

Team members (as seen in the picture above):

Back Row (L-R): Head Coach John Toner, Manager Mary Lu Bucci, Brandon Chan, Avery Long, Wesley Thompson, Larry Mills, Steven Summerfelt, Assistant Coach Ken Cohen

Front Row (L-R): Thomas Smith, Shaun Ridley, Alan Hill, Terrell Nowlin, Sam Huffman


For more about the team, check out their individual profiles and their coverage in the local Maryland press. This blog will share news about the team's experiences leading up to and during the 2011 Special Olympics World Games in Athens, Greece, from June 25-July 4. For more on the World Games, click here.
