| COACHES' CONFERENCE -
SAVE THE DATE!
PLEASE reserve November 15th, 2008 for the Special Olympics New York City Region Coaches' Conference! This conference is a great, FREE!, easy way to start the certification process for new coaches and will hold invaluable information for veteran coaches. The conference will be held at:
Brooklyn Developmental Disabilties Services Office
888 Fountain Ave.
Brooklyn, NY
For more information and directions, you can visit their website at http://www.omr.state.ny.us. This venue is easily accessible from all five boroughs!
For new coaches, this conference is the jumping off point for you to join the exciting and rewarding experience of training Special Olympics athletes! Individuals over the age of sixteen may become certified. The time commitment involved after you are certified is about one to two hours per week, per sport season. In order to become a certified coach, you must attend a General Orientation, complete a volunteer application, attend a sport-specific training and a 10-hour practicum. This conference combines the first three steps into one simple process and leaves you ready to start your 10-hour practicum. The conference should last from about 9am to 2pm for new coaches (agenda to come). We will have free giveaways and provide lunch.
For veteran coaches, The time requirement is only 9am to 11:30am (lunch begins at 11:30am, which you may choose to stay for or not) and we will have free giveaways! Please attend!
