The Belen Wolfpack is a Special Olympics Florida United Sports Program that competes in flag football, basketball, and soccer. Special Olympics is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. Uni􀀁ed Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. In United Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability. That makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away. As a member of our Belen Wolfpack you will get to “coach” our amazing athletes in providing them sports training and competition opportunities. Now entering its 4th year, The Belen Jesuit Wolfpack has taken home two state gold medals, two-state silver medals, and one state bronze medal.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain.  The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline.  In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty.  The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow.  Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
