Thank you for your letting us know your intent to have a team for the upcoming Summer Season (June-August).
**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 September 30, 2024.
This registration form should be completed by the individual (Head Coaches and Program Coordinators) with primary responsibility for interfacing with Special Olympics Colorado (SOCO).
For Local Programs with multiple teams, please submit one application per team and sport.
If you are an assistant coach, please touch base with your program coordinator or head coach before completing this form to avoid duplicates. There is a separate registration form for individual coaches.
The form assists SOCO staff in planning for your team needs (whether it be new athletes, supporting a new youth team, securing facilities, additional coach support, rostering) and gathering information to better support our athletes and Unified partners.
After completing this form, if you would like to update any of your responses (e.g., add practice information, coaching needs), please contact your Regional Manager.
Never hesitate to reach out to your Regional Manager, UCS or Young Athletes Staff Lead with any questions or concerns!
