It's time for our first Special Olympics Idaho Bocce coaches training clinic! 

The date is set for Sunday, August 12 at 10am.  It will be here in Coeur d'Alene, but the exact location is TBA.  Most likely at NIC, but I will get back to you soon to confirm.

Plan on around 2-3 hrs.  

We will be going over:

Rules/Basic Instruction

Mechanics (legal throws, etc)

Drills (how to set up practice)

Strategies

Divisioning

Officiating

In order for coaches to start a Bocce team and register for the tournament in October, you must attend at least ONE training session.  

A second training will be offered sometime the last week of September.  

Here is the link to all the info you could need about Bocce (Coaches Quick Start Guide, Official Rules, etc):

Please RSVP (to the email below) by Aug 1st so we know how many people to expect at the training.  Also, feel free to bring

athletes/parents. The more people who get the info, the better! I look forward to hearing from all of you!
