Coach Requirements (Head & Assistant Coaches requirements are the same)
The following information is for new and returning coaches. Per the CYC, in order to participate as a volunteer with CYC sports, you must be on a roser. In order to be on the roster, you must compete the following steps.
- Attend a Protecting God’s Children workshop. (only take one time)
- Register at Prevent and Protect STL to complete online training and paperwork
- Take the online Coaching to Make a Positive Difference course. This can be done before the PGC workshop, but the CYC will not issue a CYC ID card unless the adult is on the Archdiocese’s list of people who have completed the PGC workshop.
- After completeing steps 1, 2, and 3; the adult then needs to apply for a CYC ID card. You will need to know your Coaching to Make a Positive Difference ID number (you will receive this number after completing the course).
- You are required to bring your CYC ID card to every game. Any adult that has not completed these requirements, or does not have their card on them at the game, will be ineligible to participate in the game.
