Experience the joy of Special Olympics as the head coach for our bocce team! Head coaches lead and organize their team of athletes and volunteers to create a comprehensive sport training program. While bocce knowledge/experience is helpful, we also offer coach training opportunities and resources.
We currently don't have a bocce team in Carbon County, but we have athletes who are interested in participating! We hope to work with you to start up a small bocce team in the area.
Volunteers are asked to complete our registration form and background check. For more information or to register, please reach out to us at volunteer@specialolympicspa.org. Thank you!
