  • Engage in a social activity
  • Your child, no matter what their unique challenges are, can be successful
  • Develop personal character
  • Get exercise
  • Improve range of motion & coordination skills
  • Have fun with your peers
  • Feel like a “rock star” performing in front of large enthusiastic audiences
  • Be a member of a team focused on inclusion
  • Learn to work to be your personal best in performing & life skills
  • Work with an enthusiastic & caring staff

Do I have to Audition for the Special Needs Guard?

This is an opportunity for you and your family to check out this program and see if it's a good fit for you.  Special Needs Guard only has registration, even if you see the word "audition", that doesn't not pertain to the the Special Needs Guard Program.

Where do I sign in to my BDPA Account?

I'm having 2FA issues logging into my BDPA Account. What do I do?

Please message us https://bluedevils.org/about/contact/ select "BDPA Office/General Inquiries" or your program's management email to resolve the problem.  Include your name and your cell phone number.

My child doesn't have access to an email, what do I do?

Each person in our system has their own individual profile. All parents/guardians should have their own email and own login that are then tied to each others accounts and then to their members account.  Members have their own accounts, but with the connect in the system, parents and engage and purchase and pay for registrations, tickets, etc... on behalf of any family member.


Any school, work, or personal email will work, however it CAN NOT be the same as the parent/guardians emails, as that is used for login and designation purposes.  So any email you wish for you member to use for their login and communications.  


Please Note that emails communications for all those with Special Needs Guard and C Corps, as well as anyone in any program under the age of 18 years old, will go to the member and to the parent emails on file.


If you have any questions or concerns about family connections in our system please reach out to us - Contact Page.

If this is your first time signing a document in your BDPA Account, you’ll need to create and save your signature.

Once your signature is saved, you won’t have to set it up again—you can go straight to reviewing and signing in the future.

If you are under 18 years old at the time of signing this, it is also in your parent/guardian's BDPA account for them to follow the exact instructions, and the form is updated and signed at the same time for both parties.

So, in short, parties sign individually, and then both parties will have the completed document with both signatures on both your accounts.

You can also follow these instructions - CLICK HERE

I'm trying to pay for a ticket or registration, but my card won't go through. What do I do?

Payment Declined? Here’s What to Check:
If your payment is declined, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Insufficient Funds: Ensure your account has enough balance for the transaction.
  • Daily Spending Limit: Some debit cards have a daily transaction cap. You may need to contact your bank to raise it temporarily.
  • Card Restrictions: Your bank may block large or unusual transactions for security reasons. Try calling them to approve the payment.
  • Incorrect Information: Double-check your card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address.
  • Expired Card: Ensure your card is still valid and hasn’t expired.

Recommended Fixes:

  • Contact your bank to check for any restrictions.
  • Try a different card or payment method.
  • Attempt smaller amounts over a few days.
  • Wait a few minutes and try again.

If you continue experiencing issues, please contact us
