Cancellation Policy
Special Olympics Massachusetts will be strictly enforcing the following policy for team sports where league/community play is offered:
Any team that commits to league/community play and is assigned to venue/schedule, but drops out under 5 days notice of scheduled games, will not be eligible:
To receive season ending awards
To advance onto the next level of competition, i.e. state games
Will not be eligible for consideration for USA Games or World Games if it is a qualifying year for those events
What do you do if you don't have enough to field a team but do have players that want to play?
Do NOT cancel, SHOW UP, with those that can play. You will take a forfeit, but we will combine teams and play a friendly match/game, so those on both teams that want to play get the opportunity to play. By doing this you are still executing the mission of Special Olympics and allowing athletes to compete. Plus, for those that do show up, they still will be working on improving their skills and physical fitness.
