Participation:

Due to space and coaching capacity, we are only able to accept SOUT athletes and Unified Partners who plan on competing. If you want a Unified Partner to play with you, they should sign up as a volunteer. If you are unable to meet the attendance requirements (you can't miss more than 3 practices) or attend the tournament(s), we ask that you not register for this sports season. Thank you for understanding.

Rides:

Athletes are expected to find their own rides to practice. For liability reasons, it is their family/guardian/caregiver's responsibility to help them to find a reliable way to get to practices & competitions. Athletes, please talk with your family and/or caregiver to ensure you have a reliable way to get to practices & competitions, just as you would to work or school. Please only sign up if you know you can get to and from practice.
