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.

Daily Performance Record 

Purpose
The Daily Performance Record is designed for the instructor to keep an accurate record of the athlete's daily performances as he/she learns the sports skills described in this guide. There are several reasons why the instructor should use the Daily Performance Record.
  1. The record becomes a permanent documentation of the athlete's progress, which is important in itself, and helps the instructor establish measurable consistency in the athlete's curriculum. This is extremely important when more than one instructor works with the athlete.

  2. The record allows the instructor to be flexible during the actual instructional session because he/she can break down the skills into tasks that are more specific than those indicated in this guide and, thus, meet the individual needs of each athlete.

  3. The record helps the instructor choose proper skills and tasks, viable conditions and criteria for mastering the skills and tasks, and correct levels of instruction to suit the athlete's learning abilities in future sessions.
These reasons make the Daily Performance Record an important aspect of an individualized educational program. The Pre-Skills assessment administered the first practice session and Daily Performance records are management tools to enable the athlete and coach to achieve season goals and objectives.
 
 
Using the Daily Performance Records
At the top of the record, the instructor enters his/her name, the athlete's name, the sport and the sports skills program level from which the skills are taken. If more than one instructor works with the athlete, they should enter the dates that they work next to their names.
