Registration Information
Registration for the Special Olympics 2025 National Summer Games (NSG) is open from 28 April through to 11 July 2025.
To ensure your team is registered to attend the NSG both the Sport Registration and Event and Logistics Information forms and documentation need to be complete and submitted by 11 July.
Refund Policy
As with previous games all instalments become non-refundable on the instalment due date. If an athlete or team management member then becomes unable to attend the Games due to injury or other reason we will work with Clubs on a case by case basis to refund what we can depending on the time of cancellation. At the conclusion of the Games once a full reconciliation has taken place, further consideration will be given to any further return of funds that might be possible.
If, for any reason the games are cancelled, SONZ will endeavour to make a refund to clubs as follows:
Any cancellation up to Wednesday 22 October will result in a partial refund, where possible once a full reconciliation has taken place. This will be based on contribution from clubs, any sponsorship and grant funding not required to be returned less expenses already incurred, including deposits to secure venues and accommodation.
Any cancellation within 7 days of the games is unlikely to result in a refund as most costs would have been incurred, however we will refund if there are any surplus funds from the Games budget once a full reconciliation has taken place.
It is important that you share this information with every individual on your team, to ensure they are aware of this prior to registering for the Games.
