SOTX Covid-19 Statement:

Indoor activities, with several safety measures in place, are permitted at Special Olympics Texas. 

The Special Olympics Texas (SOTX) Mitigation Committee has made the decision to additionally permit indoor in-person SOTX activities (indoor sports, fundraisers, LETR events, etc.) with several safety modifications in place.  All safety measures found on our training page are required for indoor activities.  

In addition to our strong recommendation of the vaccine, all participants must complete the Comm Disease Waiver as well as Athletes having a current Medical on file before their return to activities.   

When not in the field of play, all participants (including spectators and family members) must wear a mask and practice social distancing.  High fives and other contact mannerisms should be avoided.  

Additionally, the Mitigation Committee and Regional Executive Directors can pause upcoming activities at any time if they feel a certain area may have an unusually unsafe uprise in local COVID-19 cases.  

If any members of a delegation who participated in SOTX practices and/or events test positive for Covid-19, the delegation must quarantine for 14 days before returning to SOTX activities.  Additionally, the individual(s) who tested positive must have a negative test result before returning to SOTX activities.
