2018 Winter Sports Registration

Hello All,It may seem a little early for winter sports registration, but we have to let Special Olympics CT know how many we will have training and competing.

Our Alpine sports registration is due to the State office by November 28, so that gives us about 18 days to gather all of the information.

Practices will be starting in January – please check our calendar of events for dates and times. (Will be updated in December)

Unified Partners and coaches please sign up also, so we are sure we have enough help and that you will be registered

Please select the sport you will be training/competing in from the links below:

1) Alpine -> http://bit.ly/2018AlpineRegistration (This form NEEDS to be filled out by November 27th – no late entries, please)

2) Snowshoe/X Country -> http://bit.ly/2018OSOWinterSports

Coaches: if you plan on helping at competition, please select “COMPETING” on the registration forms.

You may train in multiple sports, but since the competition is on the same weekend, you will have to choose ONLY 1 sport to compete in.

Depending on the number of Slots/Lift Tickets we are allotted, there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to “TRAIN ONLY” in Alpine.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

2017 Spring/Summer sports signup

If you will be participating in spring/summer training or competition, you will need to fill out the online signup sheet below.It is EXTREMELY important that you sign up if you plan on competing, since our registration is due on April 12 and our first week of practice is that same week.

http://bit.ly/2017OSOSummerSports

Only those that sign up for COMPETITION will be registered for the summer games.
It costs Oxford Special Olympics money for every athlete and partner that is registered for competition, so if you register for COMPETITION and don’t show, or change your mind, then we will be out that money, which isn’t fair to anyone.

Sports: Cycling / Swimming / Track & Field

Oxford Special Olympics will be training in three sports this Spring – Cycling, Track and Field, and Aquatics (Swimming – both Developmental and Advanced). Competition will be at the Special Olympics Connecticut Summer Games on June 9-11, 2017.
