Athletes don't forget to complete the short health history and release screening

If this short health history screening indicates a potential issue, SOPA/GPR staff will follow up

to determine if a more detailed Medical Form (with doctor input) is needed

Become a Volunteer - Special Olympics Pennsylvania

Volunteers depending on the role at the training site or competition venue,

please note that additional requirements such as background clearances and training may be necessary.

Continue Your Journey

let's look at where, when and what sports are currently being offered

Greater Philadelphia Region - Fall Sports Sign-up Form

The Fall Sports Season sign-up season is officially closed. However if you are interested in volunteering to coach or help with a team, please reach out to Brynne Wacker at bwacker@specialolympicspa.org. Athletes and Unified Partners who sign up after the sign-up period is closed while able to train are not eligible to participate at any SOPA level competitions such as the Fall Festival

If you would like more information about sport options in your area or have questions, please reach out to

Michelle Cordell, mcordell@specialolympicspa.org

IMPORTANT: Signing up does not guarantee participation

since space and number of registered volunteers will impact the number of athletes that can be served.

SOPA/GPR staff will create a waiting list when initial rosters are full

and as space / slots become available athletes may be activated to participate

Nothing is more inspiring than witnessing friends, family members, or perfect strangers push themselves beyond perceived obstacles. To witness one transcend boundaries and to realize success brings us all closer together. Bucks County Special Olympics brings together children and adults with intellectual disabilities of various athletic levels to share moments in competitive sport. Each of our participants is a champion in their own right and our events bring out their very best while showcasing their hard work, dedication, and inspiration with friends, family members, and community members. Join us for an upcoming event in Bucks County to be inspired by our passionate and dedicated athletes.
