Thank you for being part of our Manchester Special Olympics community. Below are some common questions parents, guardians and caretakers have. If you have another question or would like to discuss anything, please let us know! Please also see the SONH FAQ page for additional information!

What paperwork is required to get started?

Athletes over eight-years-old must fully complete and submit an athlete application and communicable disease wavier prior to beginning practices. Athletes between two and seven years old must fill out a Young Athletes application and communicable disease waiver prior to beginning sessions. For more information, please click here.

Does Manchester Special Olympics have opportunities for my athlete outside of competition?

Yes! SONH offers many opportunities outside of competition, such as athlete leadership, the Penguin Plunge, and many athlete-involved fundraisers and social events throughout the year.

My athlete wants to play a sport Manchester does not offer. What do I do?

If we do not offer the sport, we will work with other local programs in the area to get your athlete involved. We may have other athletes in Manchester who are also interested in the same sport, too. With enough interest, we may be able to offer it in the future!
