ATTENTION!!
If you are an athlete OR coach for our organization, please, please, take a moment to set up your portal from the link below if you have not already. I cannot see you in the system until you do. It takes only a few minutes and this is where you can update your application each year without filling out all that paperwork! If you are a guardian to an athlete, you need to create the portal. Coaches, this is where you are able to keep track of trainings that need to be done and the links are one click away when you are in the system. Please do this as soon as possible, I have to create teams for the upcoming competitions and need everyone in the system before I can do that. Thank you!

No payment turned in by the end of the 3rd practice, you will have no room and will need to make arrangements on your own.

ASAP - If you are a new player and do not have a jersey yet, please reach out to me (including a size needed) at 507-227-5955 (texts are just fine too). New Ulm Special Olympics covers the cost of one of the two jerseys that you will receive. Your portion will be $30. Please take care of this as soon as possible in case I need to order more, we need to get them to you by the regional tournament.
Thank you and have a great year!!!

ATTENTION: The new SOMN Portal is live! If you have already created an account, you are all set! If not, I'll add the link below so that you can. This is the place where you can update all your information, medicals etc - no more paper!! The only requirement is that you have to have an email address. There are different "Zones" when you get into the site (Coach Zone, Parent Zone etc.) SOMN will keep you up to date on anything they need from you by emailing you directly through this new system!
EVERYONE will need to have an account. So, if you are a coach, athlete or volunteer, pleased get that done as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Pics from the Regional Tournament at Gustavus Adolphus College on Saturday. As coaches and administrators, we couldn’t be more proud of our athletes! Their dedication to their fellow athletes, leadership, compassion for others, sportsmanship and commitment to our organization is something we all can learn from. It is truly an honor to know each and every one of them! ❤️ A special thank you to family and friends that made the trip to come watch us play, we couldn’t do it without your support too! (Maybe next year I’ll get you some proper pom poms and foam fingers!😉)
Enjoy some snapshots…
