**Team Registration for Special Olympics: Important Notice**

This registration is specifically for Local Program Coordinators or Head Coaches to register *Teams*. If you are an athlete or Unified partner wanting placement on a team, please refrain from registering until Seasonal Athlete & Unified Partner Registration opens.
