Health History and Release Form Review Instructions

​​​​​All athletes must have a Special Olympics Health History and Release Form that is not yet expired to participate in practices. To participate in SOWA competitions, all athletes must have a Special Olympics Health History and Release Form that expires after 11/15/2026 completed and approved no later than 8/30/2026. Please note that many of our athletes and families have had difficulty fully completing the form without delays so it is strongly recommended that this be done ASAP.  SOWA Portal information can be found here.

Team Participation

SOWA enforces a maximum limit for the number of athletes on teams at competitions. If we have more athletes than allowed on a team, we will fill the competition roster based on participation at practices and the order that athlete’s sign-up and participation at practices.  So please sign-up as soon as possible. Also note that all athletes who have a valid Health History and Release Form can practice with the team even if we have more athletes than a SOWA competition roster allows.
