WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT YOU WANT TO JOIN OUR TEAM
Become a Coach
Coaches provide the important sports instruction athletes need to succeed. In addition, coaches are role models that encourage athletes to strive to reach their full potential. The more coaches available, the more sports available to our athletes. Special Olympics Virginia offers coaching guidelines for each sport. Many sports offer mentorships for new coaches.
Coaches are required to complete the Class A Process in addition to taking Concussion Training.

The Class A certification process includes completing the Adult Class A volunteer forms, getting a background check and taking the Protective Behaviors and Concussion Training in the Special Olympics online portal. Coaches need to complete the entire process.
