Special Olympics

Throughout the year, the Nor-West Athletes participate in various Hudson Valley Regional events. The Nor-West Special Olympic program is made up of two categories:  Team and Skills Group.  The team will practice and compete in an appropriate division at  Special Olympic competitions.  Athletes prepare and develop skills in Basketball, Volleyball, Track & Field, Floorball, and more. Those who are ready and capable of competitive play will be selected for team competition. Those who require additional training on team concepts will be placed into the Skills Group. Please see the current calendar for competition dates. Please make every effort to attend the competitions; the team depends on your participation. 

NOTE:  Starting on January 1st, 2026, Special Olympics New York requires all athletes to create an online account to their Special Olympics Portal (link below). 

This account should be created by a parent/legal guardian, if possible. For those in group homes, the Residence Manager will need to make and manage accounts for athletes who cannot do so on their own. This account will be used to submit or renew your yearly Athlete Participation Form. In order to participate in any Special Olympics tournament, you must complete the Athlete Participation Form on your Special Olympics account.
