Special Olympics MA is offering league play (including playoffs) and a state tournament for the 2025 season. Teams must participate in league play for the opportunity to advance on to the state tournament at Gillette Stadium (see advancement policy).
Each division will have a regular season schedule followed by playoffs on their final scheduled date.. Teams will be divisioned within their assigned location for the playoffs based on their regular season to ensure fair competition. Gold medal winners for each division automatically advance to a State Tournament.

League Play Locations
Cancellation Policy
Special Olympics Massachusetts will be strictly enforcing the following policy for team sports where league play is offered:
Any team that commits to league/community play and is assigned a 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. As an benefit for those that do show up, they will still be working on improving their skills and physical fitness
Weather
Games will be played in rain and poor weather.
