If an athlete had a valid Med App on file prior to the introduction of the Medical Form, the Med App remain valid until its expiration date, however, the athlete will need to submit a Consent Form prior to participation.

Failure of the athlete to have an accurate, fully completed Medical Form on file with Special Olympics Illinois prior to any relevant deadline* will result in the athlete being denied participation in Special Olympics Illinois competitions, programs and events.
