For those who will be involved as a team parent or a coach for any sport going forward, it is now PA state law that the background checks below MUST BE done. Upon completion of these checks, certificates will be issued (PA State Police Criminal History will be available immediately while the PA Dept Human Services Clearance will take a few days to access). These certificates need to be printed and turned into the coach/commissioner of the sport in which you are involved. Both the PA State Police Criminal History and PA Dept Human Services Clearance are free. These checks, when done, are now good for 5 years. If you have any questions or problems with this system, feel free to contact the Vice President at [email protected].

Concussion Training - You must either print the certificate or save as an electronic file to give to the commissioner after you complete the training. This must be done once a year in order to be able to coach.
