Forms
All forms must be submitted to the organization before the first practice. You cannot deliver a form to the coach at the first practice. Completed forms should be scanned as PDFs and emailed to our Local Coordinator, Connie Warner. If you can't scan a form, contact Connie.
You are not registered until the Connie, the Local Coordinator, has received and reviewed the Medical / Release Packet AND you have signed up for a sport.
Athlete Medical / Release Packet
This a medical release form, much like a school physical form, a release to participate, and a publicity release. The medical part must be completed by a doctor and the form must be updated every three years.
We will only accept fully completed medical packets with all pages. We will no longer accept single pages or photos sent as email or text messages. We need a complete PDF. Google Drive can "scan" with your camera on your phone and there are other apps for iOS and Android. Let us know if you need help scanning.
Registration is not complete until the local coordinator reviews the medical packet and advises the coaches. Coaches may no longer accept medical packets and or physicals. Please email PDFs to connie.warner@sodcoh.org.

YMCA Membership - New and Renewal
All Special Olympics Ohio athletes are eligible to obtain a renewable year-long membership at their local YMCA branch at no charge. Athletes who received a membership in 2023 should renew their membership for 2024 by using the same form below.
Eligibility
An athlete must have current physical on file and be in good standing with their local organization.
Athlete’s are eligible to obtain membership for a Private Provider if necessary.
“Private Providers” are only allowed to use their free YMCA membership when accompanying an athlete.
The first step is for the athlete to complete the YMCA Membership Request Form.
Athlete enters their full name and contact information (email, phone). If the athlete does not use email, they should enter the email of someone who can receive their membership certificate.
Choose the athlete’s Local Organization from the menu (by clicking the +Add button). We are "Delaware Special Olympics."
If the athlete requires a private provider with them, answer that question "yes" and a place will appear for the provider's name. If the provider changes from day to day, enter one main provider’s name.
You need to choose a YMCA location. Again, click the +Add button to see a list. Likely choices for our athletes are "Delaware YMCA (Delaware OH)" and "Liberty Township/Powell YMCA (Powell OH)".
The athlete and our local coordinator, Connie, will receive an email confirmation.
Connie will complete the next step in the process.
