Basketball is one of the more popular sports at Special Olympics.

We believe it is important for our coaches to receive certification training in order to provide them with the tools needed to help our athletes have a positive sports experience. By taking the online certification training, coaches will learn best practices when approaching sports training with our athletes. Certification is required for certain coaching situations and is recommended for all coaches. Please also make sure to check out the SONV Rules and the National Governing Body Rules for Basketball (below)
View videos, links and documents for various skills and drills.
This training is for you if you have never taken a certification course online or in person! You may also take this entire course to recertify.
If your certification is expiring soon or expired within the last year, take our re-certification quiz to keep your certified status
