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.
