At Special Olympics, we believe that sports can teach us all important lessons.
When you join Special Olympics Pennsylvania, you’re joining a group of strong, ambitious competitors. Special Olympics athletes are eight years old or older and have an intellectual disability, or a developmental disability with a cognitive delay.
To become eligible for Special Olympics Pennsylvania training, competition, and programming, a Medical Form is required. The Special Olympics Pennsylvania Medical Form must be used. School or agency medical forms will NOT be accepted.
Please Complete the Medical Form >> MEDICAL FORM <<
Once your Medical Form has been completed, please email it to us at region6@specialolympicspa.org or mail it to us at 2570 Boulevard of the Generals, Suite 124, Norristown, PA 19403. If you have any questions, please email us at Region6@specialolympicspa.org
If you are unsure if you or the athlete you are signing up are eligible, take a look at our Statement of Eligibility (PDF). People without intellectual disabilities can take part in Unified Sports teams that bring people with and without intellectual disabilities together to train and compete on the same teams.
Visit our Sports Signups page to pick your sport(s). Once there, select the Greater Philadelphia Region where you live and browse the list of sports available. Find your desired sport and fill out the signup form.
After the signup period, the head coach or site coordinator will reach out with more information about the season.
At Special Olympics Pennsylvania, athlete safety is our priority, and a current Medical Form is required for all participants. We’re excited to announce that starting May 2025, our medical form process will be even easier! You’ll no longer need a doctor’s signature; instead, you’ll just review and update your health information each year.
To make things simpler for this spring/summer 2025 season, we’re accepting the attached Medical Form without a doctor’s signature.
While a doctor’s signature won’t be required for most athletes, there may be some specific situations where it’s still necessary. We’ll review all submitted forms and contact you if your form requires a doctor’s signature. We’re confident this change will make it easier for you to participate in Special Olympics Pennsylvania!
