You can sign up to volunteer at a local Spring Games here. If you don’t see your program’s Spring Games listed, please reach out to your local coordinator.
All registration for these events for participants is organized through the local program coordinator. That person can best be reached via email.
If your community is not listed, please note that we are still offering the at-home fitness program, SO Good, statewide so we have an alternative way to keep athletes active. Reach out to your local program coordinator to learn more!
