Fall-winter Registration is now available.
Before you start the online registration process, Please READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you already have a portal account DO NOT create a new account (this is for new athletes to SOO). This will create delays in processing your application.
If you have an account, but are not sure how to proceed, there are instructions available on the GDSO website see below (Using the Portal)
Only Fully Registered athletes will be approved (Waivers need to be completed)
Registering on the portal does NOT guarantee to you a spot in the program. It puts you on a list for a program
Priority is given to “returning athletes” to a program. The Team Managers/Head Coaches are responsible for this
The cost of each program is not listed at this time. The cost will be similar to last year.
If you have questions regarding a specific program, please connect with the Head coach/Team manager. The registrar is responsible to assist with the registration process
