Volunteers are needed to support our athletes at the 2018 Interscholastic Unified Bocce Championships. Unified sports offer a unique experience for athletes as it joins athletes with disabilities and athletes without disabilities to compete together as a team. Volunteers are needed to assist as scorekeepers, measuring assistants, officials, and athlete escorts. No previous bocce or sport experience is necessary and all volunteers will receive the necessary training prior to the event.

Mission Statement
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for persons eight years of age and older with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.
Description
Special Olympics is founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy, and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. These must be adapted only as necessary to meet the needs of those with mental and physical limitations.
Special Olympics believes that consistent training is indispensable to the development of an individual’s sports skills. In addition, competition among those of equal abilities is the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress, and providing incentives for personal growth.
Special Olympics Maryland serves over 7.000 athletes across the state through 27 different sports in 18 county programs and 21 school districts.
