I am interested in OM at my school

STEP ONE:

The process is really quite simple and begins with generating interest in the program with staff, students and parents to form teams, recruit coaches, judges and volunteers.

Springdale Booster Club volunteers are also available to conduct Information Sessions with parents and students interested in the program.

STEP TWO:

Once a school has interest, then it is time to purchase a National Membership with Odyssey of the Mind.

The cost is $135 and allows the school to field up to one team per competitive problem per division and unlimited primary teams (K-2).
Teams compete by division which is determined by the oldest team member.

Division I — Grades K-5

Division II — Grades 6-8

Division III — Grades 9-12

Division IV — Collegiate

STEP THREE:

After your teams are starting to form, it is time for your coaches to attend Coaches Training. You don’t need a national membership yet and it is more important for your coaches to gain the basics.

STEP FOUR:

For teams to participate at their Regional Tournament, the team needs to register for the tournament. Springdale Booster Club will pay the $40 tournament fee.

STEP FIVE:

Teams are required to provide one judge and one volunteer as part of their tournament registration. There are no fees to attend coaches training or judges training.
