Special Olympics offers training and competition opportunities in 30 Olympic-type sports for athletes 8 years or older.  For children with intellectual disabilities ages 2 through 7, Special Olympics provides a Young Athletes Program. Special Olympics coaches have a unique opportunity to work with athletes in competitive situations to assist in their training for life. As a grass-roots organization, Special Olympics relies on volunteers at all levels of the movement to ensure that every athlete is offered a quality sports training and competition experience. Individual donors, corporate partners and many others make it possible for Special Olympics to offer children and adults with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy through participation in the program.

Uniforms

It is important to confirm appropriate golf attire for both training and competition. Many courses have very strict dress codes that must be honored.
 
Athletes
Recommended golf attire:
  • Shirt with collar, tucked into pants/shorts/skirt.
  • Golf shoes with spikes (soft or metal). Smooth soled athletic shoes would suffice if golf shoes are not available.
Proper attire should be stated in the Coaches, Players, Volunteers and Official handbooks.
 
Officials
Volunteer officials may be requested to wear certain bottoms, shirts or headwear. Golf car indicators or official location blocks are suggested as well. To expedite requests for rulings or questions, all participants should be informed of golf hole assignments of official locations. The uniform, golf car indicator signage and official locations can easily be included on the Rules of Play Sheets and distributed at the coaches meetings.
