Coaching Requirements

As a Volunteer/Coach it is imperative we create a safe environment for all involved. Therefore, in order to participate, there are 4 compliance items that are required (by Federal and State laws) to be completed prior to the first practice.

Roster and practice times will not be released until are requirements are met.

Initial Step:

1. Submit Volunteer/Coach Registration (retain confirmation email received upon completion of enrollment)

Note: Because the certification requirements will take a few hours we ask that you complete this quick step immediately upon agreement to coach - this allows us to assign you a team in the system and begin to work the schedules sooner than later. Schedules cannot be created without an associated coach to the team.

You will then need to complete the following REQUIREMENTS:

2. SafeSport Certification

3. Sudden Cardiac Arrest Certification

4. Concussion in Sports Certification

5. Risk Management Application (RMA) Approval (Background Check)

Note: During the RMA process you will be asked to upload the certificates received in requirements 2-4.

Process details are listed in order below...
