Be aware that there have been changes to the Portal the week of September 2, 2024.
Welcome to Coach's Corner
This is the "Coach's Corner" page for our website. This part of the website is intended for the use of SOO Oakville coaches and other volunteers. Here you will find downloadable forms and some useful links. As well we try to keep track of resources that may be shared, such as the Community Banner. Not a very exciting page, but hopefully it will be useful.
The Community Operating Guidelines for SOO Oakville came into effect in October 2015 and are available to be viewed as as a PDF or as a web page. This document is currently being updated to reflect changes in terminology due to introduction of the portal.
SOC Portal
In 2018 Special Olympics Canada (SOC) made major changes to the database used to manage members', and clubs' information. Along with this change an interactive portal for interacting with the database was also introduced. Unfortunately these changes were brought in with minimal documentation; Special Olympics Ontario (SOO) has been working to create and update information ever since. The SOC Portal section of this website is an attempt to help our hardworking volunteers to navigate it.
Training
The Training page summarizes training opportunities and resources. It includes external links for Special Olympic and Coach Training.
Scheduling
The Planning Calendar for Oakville contains all of the information in the full calendar available from the top navigation bar. In addition it contains any TENTATIVE dates received. Such dates will be transferred to a club's calendar if confirmed. Be patient, it can take a while to load.
Accounting
The Accounting page contains information and downloadable forms from our Treasurer. Included are the budget templates and the cheque request forms which we use in this community.
Fundraising
The Fundraising page contains information about fundraising in our community. There is also information about accessing funds in our trust accounts.
The SOO Oakville eBingo Volunteer login is also located on this page.
