ORLANDO, Fla. – Around 200 athletes will represent Florida at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games later this month in Minneapolis. It is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the Olympians who will try their hardest to win gold.
Orlando’s Jacob Craft is competing in the USA Games for a second time. He won gold in volleyball in the 2022 Games in Orlando. He’s been playing the sport for roughly 10 years and he calls his volleyball team “family.”
