In order for an athlete to be eligible to compete at an Invitational competition, the athlete must compete at their State competition. The majority of Invitational events are held out of state and funding is mostly the responsibility of the Areas. These events do not qualify athletes for advancement in their sport, but simply serve as another competition opportunity.
Special Olympics National notifies Special Olympics Arizona when Invitational opportunities arise. Interested in attending an Invitational? Contact your Area Director to register.
