GCLC is required to have a background check and a concussion certificate on file for all assigned volunteers and /or coaches. At least one approved volunteer and/or coach assigned to the team must be in attendance at all games/practices. If a substitute is needed, another parent must register and complete the screening process.
Volunteers and/or coaches must authorize a background screening from our contracted vendor at the expense of GCLC and submit a valid completion certificate from an approved concussion safety course. Program directors/commissioners must enforce these requirements and will delay the release of rosters, schedules, uniforms and/or equipment until all coaches in their program have complied.
All head or assistant coaches must take one of the free online training courses listed below and submit a paper or electronic copy of the completion certificate to GCLC. We ask our coaches to take the NFHS course but will accept the CDC certification. Your certificate is good for three years from the date of completion.
