Coaches play a unique and indispensable role in Special Olympics Idaho. Coaches provide sport skills and spirit that define a true athlete. Coaches are role models and character builders. In addition, coaches obtain necessary facilities and equipment for training, assist athletes in learning sports skills and applying them in competition, and maintain their own coaches certification with Special Olympics Idaho.

The Local Program Management Team is essential in overseeing and organizing local teams. From event organizing, communication, fundraising and outreach, the Local Program Management Team makes it possible for Idaho athletes to have the support necessary to succeed in trainings and competitions. Management Teams work collaboratively with the State Chapter to build the mission of Special Olympics Idaho in local communities.
