Special Olympics Football Coaches Quick Start Guide

Special Olympics Unified Sports Rules

There are few differences between the rules for Unified Sports competition and the rules as stipulated in the official Special Olympics Sports Rules. The additions are highlighted below. 1. 2. 3. 4. For 5-a-side, 7-a-side,and 11-a-side football, similar age and ability levels are required of both athletes and partners. A lineup during the competition consists of three athletes and two partners for 5-a-side, four athletes and three partners for 7-a-side, and six athletes and five partners for 11-a-side football. Teams are divisioned for competition based primarily on ability. In football, division assignment is based on the best players on the roster, not the average ability of all players. Team sports must have an adult, non-playing coach. Player-coaches are not allowed in team sports.

The election of athletes and partners of similar age and ability is essential for Unified Sports football training and competition. Though rules modifications have been implemented to minimize differences between athletes and partners, inappropriate competition experiences and a higher risk of injury result from teams where athletes and partners are poorly matched.

Protest Procedures

Protest procedures are governed by the rules of competition. The role of the competition management team is to enforce the rules. As coach, your duty to your athletes and team is to protest any action or events while your athlete is competing that you think violate Official Football Rules. It is extremely important that you do not make protests because you and your athlete did not get your desired outcome of an event. Making protests are serious matters that impact a competition’s schedule. Check with the competition management team prior to competition to learn the protest procedures for that competition.
