2023 Special Olympics NC Summer Sports Coaches Training
Special Olympics NC will be offering coaches training for coaches to gain a deeper understanding of a sport and/or how to relate their coaching to Special Olympic athletes. Topics covered normally include: an introduction and overview of Special Olympics, coaching resources, sport fundamentals, events and divisioning, pre- and post-season training, proper uniform and equipment, safety, rules, and hands-on training. A sports specific training school is a required part of coach certification and re-certification. To be re-certified in a sport (required every three years), a coach can attend a training school or take an online test. Please visit the SONC Coach and Sport Resources page to view the basic requirements and online trainings. We recommend completing requirements for a Sport Assistant before attending a sport specific training school.
