Athletes

New athletes must complete and submit an Athlete Registration Form to get started. Once registered, SOSC staff will contact athletes to review available sports in their community and assist with season registration. From there, athletes will connect with their coaches and begin training!

Los nuevos atletas deben completar y enviar el Formulario de inscripción de atletas para comenzar. Una vez registrados, el personal de SOSC se pondrá en contacto con ellos para revisar los deportes disponibles en su comunidad y apoyar con la inscripción a la temporada. Después, los atletas se conectarán con sus entrenadores y ¡empezarán a entrenar!

Current
Athletes

Athletes whose registration is set to expire before the end of their upcoming sports season will be notified two months before the season begins. To remain eligible, they must submit an Athlete Registration Renewal Form by the deadline, usually one month prior to the start of the season. Athletes whose medical clearance is set to expire before the end of their season must instead complete and submit a new Athlete Registration Form.

*DO NOT complete this form unless you have previously filled out the New Athlete

Los atletas cuya inscripción esté programada para expirar antes de que finalice su próxima temporada deportiva serán notificados dos meses antes de que la temporada comience. Para seguir siendo elegibles, deberán enviar un Formulario de Renovación de Inscripción de Atleta antes de la fecha límite, usualmente un mes antes del inicio de la temporada. Los atletas cuya autorización médica esté programada para expirar antes de que finalice su temporada deberán, en cambio, completar y enviar un nuevo Formulario de Inscripción de Atleta.
