CORPUS CHRISTI, TX- Special Olympics Texas will run the 30th annual Bay Ball Ballyhoop on the 27th and 28th of July. Teams across the country and state will join us next month to compete in the spectacular Bay Ball Showdown, where 155 teams across the state will participate. This tournament brings old school 3-on-3 games back into style each year in Corpus Christi.

In the past, this event has raised upwards of $50,000 directly to Special Olympics Texas to continue changing the lives of athletes. The games will include Unified matches where the sport of basketball will bring people with and without intellectual disabilities together to reach a common goal.

The Bay Hoop Ballyhoop Tournament will take place at Island Hall Gym in the Dungan Wellness Center, 6300 Ocean Dr, Corpus Christi, TX.

With the gracious donation of our sponsors, volunteers, Unified partners, TAMU Corpus Christi, and our incredible athletes that attend and participate in Bay Ball Ballyhoop, Special Olympics Texas can continue to transform lives through the joy of sport, each and every day. Special Olympics Texas empowers athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the court and in life.
