For Athletes
Become an Athlete
ATHLETE HEALTH HISTORY RELEASE FORM
You must be enrolled and have a form on file before participating in any Special Olympics Oregon events, practices, or competitions.
- The NEW Athlete Health History Release form is required of athletes joining for the first time and current athletes as they renew.
- This form expires annually but no longer requires a physical exam or physician’s signature, so the renewal process is much easier.
- This form replaces the old “Athlete Medical” form.
- Complete this fillable form and return it to your Local Program.
- Once the Local Program receives a complete copy of the form, the athlete will be eligible for practice and competition.

Attendance Policy: Please remember for all sports: You are only allowed to miss two practices. If you cannot commit to the entire season, keep in mind that you will be eliminated if you miss three. Due to our numbers, we must hold athletes responsible for attending practices and not taking the place of an athlete who can/will make all the practices. Exceptions are possible on a case by case basis but not for vacations or other non-illness choices.
Clothes/Jewelry:
- Please wear clean, comfortable clothes.
- Please avoid anything that might be offensive to your teammates.
- Please wear modest clothing – nothing too revealing.
- No jewelry, please.
