Sign up for a Sport Starting 2/2/2026:  Spring Season

Sign up today and be part of something extraordinary! Special Olympics Howard County sports sign up is your opportunity to join a vibrant community where athletes with intellectual/developmental disabilities come together to train, compete, and celebrate the power of inclusion. Whether you’re returning for another season or stepping onto the field for the first time, your participation helps create unforgettable experiences, build lifelong friendships, and showcase the true spirit of determination and joy.

PLEASE READ THE BELOW INFORMATION BEFORE SIGNING UP

A new sports sign up system has been implemented. For existing athletes, the system will automatically show current information and allow an opportunity for updates.  If the system does not populate your athlete’s info, call the office at 410-740-0500. 

Important Changes:

  • To allow more athletes to participate and to reduce the length of wait lists, athletes may sign up for a maximum of 3 sports.
  • Athletes who sign up for a sport that is at capacity will automatically be wait listed and will be notified if a spot becomes available.
  • If a wait list is needed, athletes who reside in Howard County will be given priority over out-of-county athletes.
  • The list of sports available will only show sports in which the athlete is eligible. For example, the Young Athletes Program will not be on the list of available sports for athletes 8 years and older.
  • Athletes cannot sign up after the deadline has passed.
  • The old medical form has been discontinued. Effective 7/1/2026, all athletes must have the new  U.S. Athlete Registration Form .  The new U.S. Athlete Registration Form does not require a doctor’s signature.
