Fall Sports Virtual Games
The 2021 SONM Fall Sports Virtual Games will offer events in Basketball, Fitness and Distance Walking. Athletes will once again select 3 events to train and compete in but we have combined Fitness events into multiple event sequences. Fitness Sequence #1, Fitness #2 and Fitness #3 all count as one individual event each even though there are four event parts to each sequence.
Please make sure to review the Event Descriptions for more information about the Fitness events and all of the other sport/event options athlete can select from.
All entries for the 2021 SONM Fall Sports Virtual Games must be submitted by the local program and will require registration with preliminary scores by October 9th. The final scores are due by midnight on November 13th.
