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.

Securing the Use of a Facility

Assuming you secure the use of a golf facility, it is important to meet with the golf professional or club director to review facility policy and procedures.
  1. Communicate all policy and procedures for trainings and competitions to athletes, coaches, volunteers and family members.
  2. Inform and copy all information to your local Special Olympics Coordinator.
 
Confirm with professional or club director:
  • Dates and times of trainings and competitions
  • Driving Range and practice area rules and regulations
  • Provision of equipment
  • Storage of equipment
  • A designated greeting area for athlete, coaches and volunteer arrival and departure
  • Registration procedures for coaches and athlete upon arrival to the course
  • Clubhouse Access
  • Food and Beverage/Cooler Policy (many facilities do not allow food and beverage to be brought onto property)
  • Golf Car policy for Coaches and Volunteers
  • Access to the Golf Course: Tee time and registration procedures
  • A scoring area for athletes that have completed on course play
  • Exchange contact information: telephone, e-mail addresses
