Participation Forms

In order to participate in Special Olympics Montana’s sports programming, all athletes and unified partners/teammates must submit the required paperwork to Mandy Patriarche by email, fax – 406-315-4201
or mail – PO Box 3507, Great Falls, MT 59403. These forms are similar to those required for any other sports program. They provide for:

• Necessary medical information, including a health history (athletes only), health insurance information and emergency contacts;
• Emergency medical treatment in the event that a parent or guardian cannot be reached;
• A photo release allowing Special Olympics Montana to use any photos or video of its athletes for marketing purposes; and
• Release for athletes wishing to participate in Healthy Athletes.

Renewing Paperwork

All Special Olympics Montana athletes must renew their Athlete Medical Form every three years (pages 1-4).  Current medical forms are required before an athlete can begin training for any state or area competition.

The same applies to unified partners/teammates. Unified partners/teammates are also required to complete the Unified Partner Application and Protective Behaviors Training every three years in order to be eligible for training and competition.

Note: Protective Behaviors is not required for people 15 years old and younger.
