Special Olympics Singapore football coach Henry Proctor in action.

A Special Olympics football (soccer) coach, Henry Proctor began volunteering with the Association for Persons with Special Needs-Chao Yang Special School in 1989.
When the athletes graduated to Tanglin Special School, he saw the need for continuous skills development for people with special needs and offered his services to the school. The athletes regard him as a mentor even after they graduate.
He was head coach for the Program’s football team when it participated in the first Asia Pacific Games in Shanghai, China, in 1996, and chaired the Soccer Organizing Committee for two consecutive National Games in 1997 and 2001. In 2002, he was the advisor and the head referee during the Program’s first Unified Sports® Soccer Tournament.
