We are always in need of volunteers and we provide training! Let us know what you can help with - team coordinator, chain gang, concession stand, announcer, field clean up, field prep, yearbook committee, banquet committee, etc.. There will be LOTS of opportunities for those interested.
All volunteers must complete the mandatory background checks (coaches, assistant coaches, team coordinators, etc), and they need to be turned in by the start of the season.
Coaches and Team Coordinators must complete all of the items below:
- Child Abuse History Clearance
- PA Criminal Record Check
- Mandated Reporter
- Heads Up
All other Volunteers need to complete the PA Criminal Background Check and Child Abuse Clearance.
When completing the forms, please select “Volunteer” so you are not charged for processing.
If you have already completed these items within the last five years, you can provide us with copies. They only need to be completed every five years, with the exception of the Heads Up Training which is yearly.
