Ms. Quinlan will also discuss the Special Olympics Wyoming Coaches Training scheduled for August 23, 2008 in Jackson, WY. The Coaches Training is an excellent opportunity for new coaches and seasoned volunteers to review Special Olympics 101 as part of the Coaches Certification process and is a great short course for coaches, families and volunteers to better understand what Special Olympics is all about. The general session is a required course for all new coaches/volunteers and must be completed every 3 years as a part of the recertification process.
Each session will provide volunteers with the knowledge and experience to be an effective coach in their respective sport. The classroom session will include an overview of the events, equipment, clothing and rules. The practical skills session will include techniques, skills progression, safety and other issues pertaining to your sport and provide insights into how to coach athletes with intellectual disabilities in practice and competition.
