West Placer Athletics

Welcome to the West Placer Athletics Special Olympics Team.  Our team is comprised of Special Olympic athletes primarily from the communities of Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Lincoln and Loomis.  While we do have athletes join us from outside these areas, keep in mind that all of our training locations are in the West Placer area.

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. Athletes that are eight years or older are eligible to train and compete in Special Olympics.  For more details visit the Special Olympics Northern California website at www.sonc.org. 

If you are a new athlete interested in joining our team, we would love to have you.  New athletes will need to complete Special Olympics'  Application for Participation.  The application is online and must be completed by a parent, care provider or adult athlete. Once the form has been submitted and is cleared by Special Olympics the athlete can participate in any sports training they wish.  You will receive an email from Special Olympics when you have cleared.

West Placer has many different sports year round.  See the Calendar tab for sports and times of year offered.  You will need to register (sign up) for each sport as we go through the year during the registration dates.  The registration link will be sent out by Special Olympics Northern California (SONC). I will add a New Sports tab when we are starting a new sport(s). 

All athletes should be familiar with and abide by the Athlete Code of Conduct. 

All Parents and Spectator Code of conduct should be followed at all practices and events.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer (e.g., as a coach) with Special Olympics you must complete and submit a Volunteer Application form (including understanding and abiding by the Coaches Code of Conduct).  Volunteer applications and background checks expire every 3 years.  You can find the new volunteer application at sonc.org.

Spirit Wear!   

West Placer Families,

I occasional place spirit wear orders to accommodate our growing team.  If you are new to our team your athlete will receive one free t-shirt.  However, if you would like to purchase any additional shirts or other items please contact us. These items are available for purchase by all athletes and their family and friends.  We have these items to build team spirit for West Placer Athletics.  These items are not funded by Special Olympics.
