SELECT YOUR PROGAMS – please “Sports & Programs” or scroll down for details on the upcoming season

Please note: program details are subject to change prior to the program season.

COMPLETE YOUR REGISTRATION – https://www.specialolympics.ab.ca/athletes-volunteers/registration-athlete

At this time, you may register for all of your Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer programs – we highly recommend registering in advance for Spring/Summer programs as they will fill up quickly.

PAYMENT - Upon completion of the registration form, an invoice will be prepared and sent to the primary email address submitted on the registration form in September 2024. In the meantime, there is no further information required from you.

PLAY – you will receive an email in the weeks prior to the program start with the Start Date information.

DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR FALL/WINTER PROGAMS IS SEPTEMBER 30^TH, 2024 AT 11:59PM. LATE REGISTRATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Once this deadline has passed, a Spring/Summer registration will open up in January (additional details to follow).

Every program has a maximum capacity for athletes. This capacity is determined by two factors:

1. Volunteer numbers in the program

2. Facility space/occupancy

If a program is full, only a WAITLIST (program name) will be found on the “Select your Sports” section of the online registration form. If you are interested in the program, please join the waitlist – this will place you in a queue for when a spot does become available in the program.

Selecting a waitlist DOES NOT indicate that you are confirmed in the program – you will be notified directly with next steps if a spot does become available.

There will be no exceptions made – if a program is full, athletes will not be able to register for the program, only the waitlist. PLEASE PLAN AHEAD AND MAKE REGISTRATION A PRIORITY TO AVOID WAITLISTED PROGRAMS.

Attendance will be taken at each program, and any athlete that has not been confirmed in the program will not be eligible to participate in the program.

For programs with waitlists: if an athlete is absent without notice for 2 or more consecutive practices, an email will be sent notifying the athlete of a “warning of Absence”. If absent for a 3^rd time, a secondary email may be sent with potential removal from the program. No refund will be given due to unexplained absence.

A full refund will be issued to any athlete contacts the office to request a withdraw within 3 weeks of the programs first practice – this is known as a program withdrawal.

Following the 3 week period, refunds will be issued on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the office if you have any questions regarding a specific refund request.

All request for a refund must be done in writing (via email) in order to be honored and issued properly. Verbal requests will not be accepted.
