PA Child Protection Laws & Clearances

 

Pennridge soccer offers successful programs thanks to the dedicated volunteers we have.  Volunteers can perform a wide range of functions, it all depends on how involved you want to be.  The majority of PYSA volunteers are coaches for our intramural league, but we also have dedicated individuals that coach travel teams, team parents, help organize the annual concussion tournament, and participate in a Board position.

Interested in volunteering? Please contact PYSA ([email protected]) for more information on how you can get involved.

 

This page contains important details and links to Pennsylvania Child Protection Laws and associated Clearances. The new laws require background checks for all Pennridge Soccer coaches, assistants, administrators, & team managers. This includes seasonal Intramural coaches.  


The club cannot accept your volunteer service without successful completion of the requisite background checks.
