Region B Bocce

This event is recreational only. There are no player vs player options.

Athletes will participate in a 45 minute skills-based target practice and will play until they reach 16 points or a maximum of 20 minutes.

Each 45 minute time slot will go as follows:

• 20 Minutes: Team Check-In, Screening [Please maintain social distancing, especially between teams]

Equipment Sanitation by Volunteers

• 20 Minutes: Play Time (Athletes will play until they reach 16 points or for a maximum of 20 minutes)
• 5 Minutes: Teams Exit

All athletes will be able to leave after they have finished their game.

Shift times and court assignments have been emailed to all coaches.

Final Divisions will be created after the competition based on final score. Award certificates will be sent to all coaches.  There will not be a awards ceremony.

Parking is available in the southwest lot near the tennis courts.

Lunch will not be provided.

Masks must be worn at all times where social distancing is not possible.  Since bocce is not a physically demanding sport, we encourage them to be worn at all times during this event. Special Olympics will not be providing masks so it is up the agency and athletes to bring their own.  For safety reasons Special Olympics will not have water on site so it is the agencies’ responsibility to inform athletes to bring their own water and bottle. Bathrooms will be available for use for athletes and coaches only. They are located inside the front doors of the high school.

To make sure we abide by the 50 person maximum set by the IDPH, parents and spectators are unfortunately not allowed to attend and only registered athletes and coaches are allowed at the event.  For each time slot, we are very close to our 50 person maximum, so it is very important you relay to all parents and guardians the importance of only allowing registered persons into the event.

Special Olympics Illinois is committed to providing the best athlete, volunteer, coach and supporter environment possible. While we are excited to resume in-person events, the health and well-being of our constituents remains our top priority. All of our in-person events follow the COVID-19 recommended IDPH and CDC guidelines.
