SPECIAL OLYMPICS KANSAS Celebrating Inclusion Since 1970

SUMMER GAMES

May 31 - June 2, 2019 Maize South High School

Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt. Athlete Oath

2019 Dear Friends,

Special Olympics has been going strong for 50 years. Once a small event, we are now a grand movement with local, state, national, and global competitions happening daily around the world. When we, the people of Special Olympics, come together, we are a force that shows the world what it means to choose to include over exclude. In this volatile world where fear of difference and uncertainty plague society, the athletes of Special Olympics and those who support them at all levels are the leaders of the age of inclusion.

When we gather for State or National Games, we are reminded of what the world could be. These Games showcase a world view where the Olympic idea is defined by the gifts you have internally, winning is defined by how you run, and success is defined by the relationships you build. We are lucky that our Games are inclusive, and it’s up to us to spread that inclusion to other parts of our communities.

To everyone attending a Games, thank you for the hard work you put into making this happen. To the athletes and Unified partners, you have been training so hard for this, and I look forward to seeing you play hard and give it your all. Good luck! To the family members, no one competing could have made it here without you. Thank you for your constant support. To the volunteers, thank you for your service and for coming to support our athletes.

Thank you to all of the supporters who have made these Games possible and who have invested in our vision of a future of inclusion. Now let the Games begin!

Sincerely,

Timothy P. Shriver Chairman, Special Olympics

A crisis is an unexpected situation or incident posing potential or actual harm to the SOKS reputation and viability. Information or misinformation about any incident that could have a negative impact on the image of SOKS can lead to a crisis situation. While it is not always possible to anticipate or prevent a crisis, the following crisis communication plan will be in place during Summer Games.

Dealing With The Crisis - The key to dealing with a crisis and minimizing the effects are: • Take immediate action when the crisis occurs • Communicate well with all identified individuals • Deal with the situation in a calm and factual manner

Notification of SOKS - In the event of a “crisis” immediately contact John Lair, President/CEO, cell - 913-333-7800 or Chris Burt, Chief Operating Officer, cell -785-760-3519, and inform them of the situation. If required, determine whether proper authorities have been notified (police, fire department, rescue squad). The first priority is to prevent further injury and give necessary treatment to individuals who are injured.

ATHLETE HOUSING POLICY

INTRODUCTION

Special Olympics is an athlete-centered movement that welcomes athletes with intellectual disabili- ties of all abilities to participate in sports training and athletic competition. Special Olympics is open to persons with intellectual disabilities over the age of eight and offers a Young Athletes program for individuals with intellectual disabilities under the age of eight.

The health and safety of all Special Olympics participants is of paramount importance to Special Olympics. Participants should feel that every Special Olympics event is a safe and positive experi- ence and should not be fearful of other athletes, coaches or volunteers.

Arranging housing for overnight events involves the consideration of a variety of factors, including the varying abilities, ages and behaviors of athletes, the availability of housing and the costs associ- ated with overnight accommodations.

POLICY

Requirements

1.) Gender – Athletes and volunteers may not share a room with an athlete or volunteer of the opposite sex. Local Programs may allow the following exceptions:

a. Married athletes who are both attending the event as members of a registered delegation. This exception does not apply to the spouse of an athlete who is not participating in the event, but attending solely as a spectator. b. Married volunteers who are both attending the event as members of a registered delegation. This exception does not apply if one of the volunteers is required to share a room with an athlete (other than the married couple’s child), if this scenario will create a situation whereby an athlete is housed with a volunteer of the opposite sex. c. Family members of the opposite sex who serve as a one-to-one chaperone for the related athlete.

22 00 12 11 93 SPECIAL OLYMPICS KANSAS

ATHLETE HOUSING POLICY (Cont’d)

d . Housing in a facility that has multiple private rooms in addition to living space (such as a condominium or dormitory). Both males and females may be assigned to one condominium if necessary, but private rooms may not be shared by indiviuals of the opposite sex. Coaches must also be housed in the condominium and the coach/athlete ratio (as outlined in the supervision section of the policy) must be maintained.

e. Use of barracks or other facility (such as gym) where a large number of individuals are assigned to one room. Athletes and volunteers must be separated as much as possible by gender (for example, females on one side of the gym and males on the other side).

2. Supervision The coach/athlete ratio of at least one properly registered coach to every four athletes must be main- tained during overnight events. Proper supervision can be maintained without having a coach present in the room at all times. All coaches must be screened in accordance with the Special Olympics Kansas Volunteer Screening Policy.

3. Young Athletes Young Athletes events that involve overnight activities require increased supervision and therefore, Young Athletes participants must be accompanied by a properly registered and screened parent, guardian or an individual designated by a parent or guardian at all overnight activities. Rooming as- signments for Young Athletes should be separate from the remainder of the delegation, whenever possible (for example, separate hotel rooms).

4. Implementation Local Programs are responsible for implementing the policy for their delegation.
