Volunteer Coaching Procedures

All coaches and board members directly interfacing with players, are required to complete criminal background checks and receive state clearance in accordance with PA Law BEFORE they participate in ANY activity related to the MTYFA program. Below are convenient links to obtain: 

 • Pennsylvania Criminal History Records Check (Needed every 3 years)

 • Mandated and Permissive Reporting in Pennsylvania Online Training (Needed every 5 years)

 • National Alliance for Youth Sports - nays.org (renewed every year or every two years, depending on what your purchased)
