All events are run during the school day from 10am-1pm.

PARENTS/GUARDIANS
All athletes that participate must have an Application for Participation. This application is also a Medical Form. Every athlete is required to have a medical exam prior to training and competition participation.
Northampton County Special Olympics is always encouraging all of our athletes to participate in the Fit 5 program. Athletes want to perform their best at every competition. They can do this by being fit. Fit 5 is a plan for physical activity, nutrition, and hydration. It can improve athletes health and fitness to make them the best athlete that they can be. This program is being used in our community based programs. If you have any questions about our school based program or our community based program, please contact Amanda Sechrist at asechrist@ciiu20.org.
