Twisters players and staff will be on hand at the “Olympic Town” area of the tournament working with the Special Olympians participating in the tournament. Also the Twisters will be involved in the Opening Ceremonies on Friday August 10th at 8pm.
Olympic Town is an area for the athletes to go throughout the day when they have a break in competition. Twister players will be appearing on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm.
