​Become A Coach

BECOME A COACH

 Coaches teach the skills and spirit that define a true athlete. Coaches are role models and character-builders.  Special Olympics coaches go even further — they help athletes with intellectual disabilities find their own strengths and abilities. They also show them how to build upon those strengths and improve every day.

Coaches also get a lot in return. They get to know athletes who inspire — athletes who are brave and determined, despite the odds against them.  Coaches become more than teachers, mentors and role models — they are seen as leaders in the community.

To become a coach:

1. Complete the SOMS Coaches Certification 
2. Download your Certificate 
3. Email your paperwork to the local area director.
