Special Olympics Unified Bags registration

I'm excited to open registration for a new sport our Region is piloting! Unified Bags is strictly a Unified Sport where a Special Olympics Athlete is partnered with a Unified Partner, which is someone who does not have any disabilities, and they compete as a team. The scores for both Athlete & Partner on each team are used to determine the outcome of the games. A Unified Partner could be a family member, friend, student, etc. For this sport, the Athletes and Unified Partners must be at least 18 years old. Athletes must have or submit a current Medical completed by a medical professional, and Unified Partners must have or complete a current Special Olympics Class A Unified Partner registration that includes a background check. In addition, there is paperwork required by both Special Olympics and Special Connections to be completed before you will be allowed to practice.

The turnaround timeframe…
