CLEARANCES

All coaches and volunteers must have background checks and clearances completed before coaching or working with the players.  For those who have not obtained youth clearances, please visit the websites below and complete the information. Once you have received your clearances, please email them to [email protected].  There are no fees associated with background checks and clearances for volunteers.  However, if you have not lived in PA for the last ten years, you will need to undergo the FBI Fingerprinting, which has a fee.
