Volunteer Requirements and Policies
In order to receive insurance we are implementing volunteer requirements and policies related to Sexual Abuse and Misconduct Prevention and Reporting.
Additionally, beginning the 2021 Season we will be required to pull a background check on all coaches. The background check will be used to determine fitness for any volunteer position.
Each volunteer provided by your family (family, extended family and/or family friends) will need to read the Volunteer Requirements and Policies document at the following link: Goals_Volunteer Requirements and Policies. The volunteers need to ensure they meet all requirement and also understand and will comply with all policies and procedures outlined in the document.
During the registration process the parent that completes the registration will need to confirm a number of statements (see below) related to any volunteers being provided by the family or extended family.
