Special Olympics Michigan (SOMI) is continuing its gradual return to practice/play plan. 

The return to play process remains on a per-Area basis, pending approval of the SOMI state office. The plan is based on education, where coaches and volunteers will receive training focused on a return to practice/play. Once an area/program has completed training, it will request approval from the SOMI state office, which allows for a phased-in return to sport activities as outlined in the return to practice/play plan. Until the area/program has received approval from the Special Olympics Michigan state office, all in-person sport activities will remain postponed for that area/program
