Ways to volunteer

Head Coach

Head coaches are responsible for running the team. Their responsibilities vary from sport to sport, but always require being available 2-3 times a week for practices and games. The head coach must have all clearances on file with the Parish Office and be signed off on once rosters are created.

Assistant Coach

The assistant coaches are responsible for supporting the head coach in any way that supports the team. Assistant coaches have less responsibilities, but are still required to be available 2-3 times per week for games/practices. Assistant coaches must have all clearances on file with the Parish Office and be signed off on once rosters are created.

Team Parent

Team parents are parent volunteers that can not commit to the time requirements or do not have the knowledge of the sport to support in the same way that a coach does. Team parents are parent volunteers that only need to be available when one of the coaches has a conflict and can not make an event. The team parent's only responsibility is to be available to attend events so that we do not have to cancel due to a two cleared adults minimum at all events. Team parents must have all clearances on file with the Parish Office and be signed off on once rosters are created.

Coach Requirements

Please Note: ALL coaches must have ALL clearances on file with the parish office BEFORE coaching! There is no provisional status.

All volunteers who may have any possible contact with children in a parish/school function, or a function that takes place on school or parish property, MUST have official paperwork filed with the parish office. As a result of the new Harrisburg laws, please read carefully, as the requirements have changed.
