Policies
Attendance
Coaches will be taking attendance at every practice and competition. This is a SOOH requirement. With three absences the athlete may be dropped from the team. We understand that there are circumstances. Special arrangements need approval.
Participation with Multiple Organizations
If Delaware County Special Olympics does not offer the sport you're interested in you may go to another Special Olympics group and participate with them. You may return to Delaware County Special Olympics for other sports.
If Delaware County Special Olympics offers the sport that you have chosen to participate in and you choose to go to a different Special Olympics group, the athlete will not be eligible to participate with any SODCOH program for a full year.
Athletes may not participate in two sports in two different SO organizations at the same time.
Participation must be approved by the Local Coordinator. As of March 2022 we will not be considering outside participation due to our return-to-play concerns.
Uniform
Each uniform will be given to athletes in a plastic bag with the athletes name and size. It must be returned at the end of the season. If not returned we will need to be compensated monetarily. Without return or compensation the athlete will not be eligible for participation in other sports until resolved. We track them by athlete, size and number. You may also purchase the uniform for use from year to year if you like.
Registration
Registration for sports will be sent one sport at a time. You must register. Please sign up for the sport that you intend to practice and compete in. Late registration must be approved. You may participate in more than one sport depending on availability, also with approval.
