Become a Coach

A person in a red shirt with the words
As a coach, you'll do more than teach skills and strategies. You'll build confidence, inspire courage, encourage leadership, and help athletes discover what they can achieve. The impact you'll make extends far beyond the playing field. Help athletes unlock their potential—and experience the joy of seeing them succeed.

Becoming a coach with Special Olympics has many rewards. Along the way, we are always here to help. Our training programs are designed to ensure that you are able to meet the needs of any athlete involved in our organization with both confidence and skill.

Our coaches have been there for our athletes in the best of times, and the worst of times.

Special Olympics Canada sees our volunteers coaching in two main areas; those that are preparing athletes for Provincial/Territorial, National and World Games, and those who will work with athletes in their community who wish to be active for life.

As a Special Olympics coach, you bring enthusiasm, commitment, and a positive attitude to each practice, event, and competition, enriching the lives of the athletes you meet.

In return, you develop relationships with athletes who inspire you with their dedication, perseverance, and courage. You learn new skills, meet new people, and gain unique experiences, enriching your own life in turn.
