Please be aware that the deadline for provisional entry scores, distances, times & player rating forms, unless stated otherwise in the Entry Pack, will be Tuesday 8 November 2016. All scores have to be sent to your regional Head of Delegation.

Player Rating Forms:

This is a reminder that all volunteers coming with a regional team to National Competitions must be registered with Special Olympics GB and have a valid CRB/DBS disclosure - this is a legal requirement, This includes all volunteers who are coming as part of a delegation - even if they don't have duty of care.

The National Executive Council has agreed that the closing date for all Special Olympics GB National Competitions will be at least six week prior to the event and that any delegation volunteers who are not registered and who do not have a valid disclosure will not be able to volunteer at the event.

Please also not that Special Olympics GB policy is that a CRB disclosure is now valid for three years, rather than two. 

We have realised that there is some confusion over the Special Olympics GB policy on alcohol.  This is that no member of Special Olympics (athlete or coach/escort) may consume alcohol at any time while Special Olympics has duty of care for athletes.  This therefore applies not only during training or competition but also – for instance – at social functions after a competition has finished.

Event organisers are responsible for ensuring that this policy is adhered to at competitions and the person with lead responsibility for each delegation must ensure that each member of the delegation is aware of and abides by the policy.
