ATHLETE PHYSICAL FORMS

Each Special Olympic participant MUST have a current Medical Release Form on file with JCPRD Special Olympics and Special Olympics Kansas prior to participating in any event/training/competition. Medical Release Forms are important for two reasons: First, to have the medical information on hand during training and competition, in case of a medical emergency, and second to ensure that the physician is informed of the athlete’s health history when performing the exam. Medical Release Health Forms must be updated every two years.
