We believe that safety is paramount in youth sports and place the highest emphasis on this with our program and all coaches. For this reason, there are several requirements of our coaching staff, in order to be allowed to work with our young athletes.
 

• Coaches certified by the American Youth Football and Cheer Educational Center annually

  • Coaching Youth Football: The AYF Way 3E
  • Coaching Youth Cheerleading: The AYC Way 2E
• Rutgers Safety Clinic – all rostered individuals, coaches, team Moms, and team commissioners need to be Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. certified. Class offerings can be found in this link: http://youthsports.rutgers.edu/program-areas/volunteer-coaches 
• CPR and First Aid – each team is required to have at least one individual with CPR/First Aid certifications.
• Heads Up Concussion Safety Test - all coaches and assistant coaches are required to complete the Heads Up Concussion Safety test each year.
• Volunteer applications – all coaches and assistant coaches are required to submit a volunteer application each year, which is used for a background check.
• IdentoGO Fingerprinting - required by High Bridge Borough Police Department of all coaches and commissioners.   Fingerprinting, once performed, is good for two (2) years.   All coaches and commissioners who were fingerprinted in 2021 do not need to be re-fingerprinted this year.  All  new coaches and commissioners and those fingerprinted prior to 2021 MUST be fingerprinted this year.   IdentoGO centers are available in several locations, the closest being in Annandale.   Locations and appointments are available via https://www.identogo.com/services/live-scan-fingerprinting.
