If you are interested in participating in Special Olympics or learning more about our programs, please contact the Registrar, Jean Tetarenko, at 250-652-3850 or specialojean@gmail.com for more information.
Registration packages are generally mailed to current athletes in May each year. We encourage athletes to mail completed forms with payment as soon as possible, rather than wait for Registration Night.
All the information you need for filling out forms will be in the letter with your package.
Send completed forms to the Special Olympics PO Box address noted in your letter.
Since some of our sports get filled up quickly, all return envelopes will be dated when received and processed in that order.
If you have any questions you may contact the Registrar, Jean Tetarenko, at 250-652-3850 or specialojean@gmail.com
Registration Night is an annual event held in June where all athletes, new and returning, may fill out their registration form selecting their sport programs, complete a medical form indicating emergency contact information, known medical conditions and any current medications, and sign the Athlete's Code of Conduct.
This information allows us to:
- keep in touch with you
- makes you eligible to go to competitions, and
- makes you a member of Special Olympics BC and Special Olympics Canada
Print an Athlete Registration Package (pdf) and bring it with you to registration night.
Note: New Athletes must sign page 2 of the registration form.
Package includes:
- Registration Form
- Medical Form
- Receipt
- Athlete's Code of Conduct
- Registration is $45.00
- There is a cost for each sport you participate
in.
The cost varies by sport depending on how much we have to pay for renting the facilities, buying equipment and going to tournaments. - We have many fundraising activities that subsidize your total cost.
- No athlete will be refused because they can't afford to participate.
- Ask the Registrar how much you will have to pay.
As an athlete you are expected to follow certain requirements to participate. The main requirements are that you will:

- treat everyone with respect and dignity.
- remember that coaches are there to help you, accept their decision and show them respect.
- contact your Head Coach if you will be missing a practice.
- follow the rules and play in the spirit of the game.
