We aim to bring young people across London the opportunity to compete in Special Olympic Competitions regionally, nationally and internationally.
If you want to play in Special Olympic competitions, you MUST sign up as Special Olympics Athlete. Here is a link to the form that you will need to complete. Speciaolympics.org We have copies of these forms, and will help you to complete the form and the eligibility process.
If you want to compete in the Special Olympics, this is the first step.
After that, you must regularly attend training sessions at an affiliated club to qualify to compete in Local (26 weeks) Regional (a further 26 weeks) and National Events. Safe Haven Basketball sessions that you attend will help you complete your qualification.
