The Special Olympics Fall Championships is returning to VA Beach on November 4 - 5, 2023. Events will be conducted during the day on the 4th but note the Opening Ceremony will be held that evening at the Virginia Beach Sports Center starting at 7 pm.
Kempsville Council is responsible for running the Golf Event's Skills and Level 2 Competition. FDD John Cochran is in his 13th year as Logistics Coordinator and Competition Director for these events and needs your help to make this another successful year for the athletes coming from all over the Commonwealth to play golf in VA Beach. Following is the help I need:
- Golf Skills: Level 1 athletes compete at seven skill stations. Volunteers are needed to escort the athletes from station to station, assist with scoring, and cheer. All stations are outside and short distance walking is required.
- Golf Level 2: Level 2 athletes play 9 holes of golf with a partner. Volunteers are needed to assist the golfers by carrying their bags (many have pull carts), keeping score, interacting with the golfers between shots, and cheering for them. You don't need to know anything about golf and aren't responsible to give guidance, they have a partner that helps them. Walking the 9-hole course is required.
Volunteers can sign up by clicking the following URL link:
Select either Golf Skills or Golf Level 2 (not Golf Advanced), and the day(s) you are going to volunteer.
