Welcome to City of Tempe Special Olympics!
Youth (8 yrs+) and adults with intellectual disabilities are invited to join Special Olympics Arizona to learn sportsmanship and teamwork while achieving their personal goals! For more information about the City of Tempe’s Special Olympics programs, please contact Josh Bell, Recreation Coordinator, at 480-858-2469 or visit our website at www.tempe.gov/adaptedrecreation. A Special Olympics Medical Release Form signed by a medical examiner (good for three years) is required for all athletes to participate, as well as a City of Tempe registration form. Visit www.tempe.gov/adaptedrecreation for registration information and to download the forms.
There is a $10 registration fee for each sport. Some sports, such as aquatics, will have an additional uniform fee due to the cost of the uniform. Please refer to the registration flyer. Registering in advance is recommended. You can register in advance one of the following ways:
- Register online at www.tempe.gov/brochure (and use the registration code for the program).
