Special Olympics West Hawaii is seeking bocce and soccer coaches, unified partners and volunteers for its summer season, which runs from Sunday, June 22, through Saturday, Aug. 16.
The organization will train coaches as needed. It is also trying to secure a practice site.
Practices take place twice a week: Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and Sundays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. The season ends with the Aukake Classic on Oahu, where a tournament will take place on Aug. 15 and 16.
Special Olympics is founded on the belief that people with disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports, adapted as necessary to meet the needs of those with special mental and physical limitations.
Have fun and help our community.
