12 Softball Skills Volunteer Roles 12 / Special Olympics Florida
13 Event 1: Base Race DESCRIPTION Bases are set up like a baseball diamond and positioned m (65 ) apart. The athlete is instructed to start on home place and run around the bases as fast as possible, touching each base en route SCORING VOLUNTEER ROLES: Timer: Holds stop watch and times athlete Base monitor: Stands by each base to ensure athlete touches Recorder: Records athlete s time Group Leader: Stays with group as they move from station to station, responsible for athlete s paperwork The time stops when the athlete touches home plate after circling the bases. The time elapsed, in seconds, is subtracted from 60 to determine the point score. A penalty of five seconds for each base missed or touched in an improper order shall be assessed. The best score of two trials is recorded. 13 / Special Olympics Florida
14 Event 2: Throwing DESCRIPTION: The player being tested stands behind the restraining line, back far enough to take one or more steps in preparation for throwing. Player has two trials to throw the softball as far and as straight as possible down the throwing line, without stepping over the restraining line. Volunteers should be positioned in the field to indicate, using a cone or marking stake, the spot where each ball first touches the ground. The better of the two throws is measured and recorded as the player s score. If a player steps on or over the line before releasing the ball, the trial must be repeated. There will be a maximum of two repeats. SCORING: The net throwing score equals the throwing distance, measured at a point on the throwing line straight across from (perpendicular to) the spot where the ball landed, minus the error distance, the number of meters the ball landed off target, away from the throwing line. The player s score is the better of the two throws. Both error scores and distance are measured to the nearest meter; for example, if a ball lands even with (perpendicular to) the 50-meter point on the measuring tape, but is 6 meters off to one side, the player s score is 44 points (Distance thrown [50] minus number of meters off target [6] results in a net score of 44 meters). Athletes score one point per meter; for example, 44 meters equals 44 points. If the score falls between meters, the score should be rounded down; for example, equals 44 points 14 / Special Olympics Florida

The throw to the athlete must hit the ground before the 6.10m (20 ) chalk mark. The athlete may move aggressively toward the ball.

20 What to Expect when Volunteering with Special Olympics Florida One of the biggest questions that new volunteers have is how to work with our athletes. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: Special Olympics offers competitions to children AND adults, so don t assume that an athlete is a child. Make sure to talk to athletes with respect. Many athletes like to hug, shake hands, give high fives, etc. You may reciprocate if the athlete initiates it and you are comfortable with that. Remember that respect of the dignity and effort of the athletes is the priority at Special Olympics Florida. 20 / Special 20 Olympics / Special Florida Olympics Florida
