1 General Session The Basics of Special Olympics
2 Mission Statement The mission of Special Olympics is to provide yearround training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports to children and adults with intellectual disabilities in order to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. The mission drives every aspect of the movement.
3 Athletes Oath Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt. At every event, at the local, state, national, and global events athletes recite this oath in unison.
4 History of Special Olympics In 1968, Eunice Kennedy Shriver organized the first International Special Olympics games. Special Olympics Wyoming began in 1972 under the direction and leadership of Helen and Lloyd Wampler. There are Special Olympics programs in 170 countries, all 50 US states and the district of Columbia serving over 5,300,000 athletes Special Olympics Wyoming currently serves nearly 1,600 athletes.
5 History of Participation Special Olympics Inc Special Olympics Wyoming 5,300, ,575 3,746, , , , * 1963 * Day camp in Mrs. Shriver s backyard
6 Special Olympics Goals Goal 1: Improve opportunities for athletes to perform at their best Special Olympics will improve the quality of programs, and broaden access to them. This means strengthening our focus on sports programming, supported by our health work, so that athletes are fit and healthy, master skills, build confidence and self-reliance and perform at their best on and off the field. As we do this, Special Olympics will use its expertise to be a leader on how to achieve inclusion in and through sport, and improve access to the effective programs we have, more than creating new ones.
7 Special Olympics Goals Goal 2: Build positive attitudes towards people with ID Attitude change must be a deliberate outcome of Special Olympics. We create change from others engaging with and witnessing our athletes as they participate in sports. It is essential that Special Olympics continuously works to improve awareness of what people with ID can achieve. We need people to see our athletes competing, and athletes leading the way as the face and voice of our movement; that is what opens hearts and minds and ultimately promotes inclusion in friendships, communities, health, education and jobs.

20 Protecting Special Olympics Athletes Special Olympics Inc. developed the Protective Behaviors Training as a tool to assist with protecting Special Olympics athletes from abuse. Protective Behaviors training required for Class A Volunteers and staff (16 years of age and older) It requires the assistance of everyone involved in our organization to help keep our athletes safe from abuse.
21 Protecting Special Olympics Athletes Preventing Physical Abuse - No corporal punishment - Check temperature of water (showers/baths) - Do not withhold water or food when needed - Dispense only prescribed medications as assigned Preventing emotional abuse - Treat athletes with courtesy & respect; no profanity - Provide constructive & positive discipline For the Protective Behaviors training click here.

29 Enhancing Involvement in School & Community Unified Sports Volunteer Interaction Lifetime Sports / Skills Development Unified Champion Schools Athlete Leadership Programs Community-based Facilities Public Education Media
30 Unified Sports Team sports are about having fun, promoting physical health and bringing people together. Special Olympics Unified Sports teams do all of that and shatter stereotypes about individuals with intellectual disability in the process. Special Olympics athletes and their teammates without intellectual disabilities (Unified Sports partners) practice and play together on Unified Sports teams. Unified Sports partners and athletes should be of equal ability on the playing field. Partners are teammates, not coaches.
31 Coaches, Chaperones, etc. Volunteers Class A volunteers include volunteers that are in close contact with our athletes (coaches, chaperones etc.). Class A volunteers must complete the Protective Behaviors Training and complete a volunteer registration form very three years. Day of Event Volunteers (Class C volunteers) are for area and/or state competitions on the day of the event. Examples for Class C Volunteer roles include timing, athlete check in, recording results, assisting with awards, making announcements, selling merchandise, helping with food service and staging events. Volunteers are vital to Special Olympics.
32 Volunteer Expectations Provide health and safety (athletes, volunteers, & spectators) Dress and act appropriately Follow all rules & guidelines Report all emergencies to appropriate authorities Abstain from alcohol, tobacco, & illegal substances Abstain from inappropriate contact or relationships with athletes, volunteers, or others
33 Volunteer Opportunities Unified Champion School Liaison Public Relations Training School/Agency/Local Coordinator Coaching Management Team (Area & State) Fundraising Athlete Recruitment Games Management Team (Area & State) State Board Member Chaperoning Athlete Leadership Mentor Event Volunteer Medical Support Officiating Office Support
34 Athlete Leadership Program Special Olympics Athlete Leadership Programs allow athletes to explore opportunities for greater participation in our movement beyond sports training and competition: as coaches, officials, team captains, spokespeople, committee and Board members. Part of the Athlete Leadership Program includes Global Messengers who are athletes that spread the message and vision of the movement as well as the benefits they have gained by participating in Special Olympics. Global Messengers communicate the powerful declarations of hope, acceptance, dignity, and courage of Special Olympics Athletes around the world.
35 Athlete Leadership Program Athlete Input Councils are a means for athletes to express their ideas, concerns and recommendations at the local level, to help improve the quality and integrity of their Special Olympics program. Input Councils meet on a regular basis and recommend new ideas to their local Management Team and provide valuable feedback on events and competitions held at the Area or State level.
36 Special Olympics challenges/opportunities More athletes Funding More volunteers, especially coaches & youth Quality training and competition Athlete leadership Inclusive sports opportunities More family involvement Public education
