Mandatory
for all Coaches!
Freehold Township Parks & Recreation Commission
takes the safety and
well being of the participants of our programs very
seriously. Our programs would not be able to run without
the many volunteer coaches who generously give their
time to the participants of our programs.
As of January 1, 2009 all volunteer Coaches must be
certified through the National Youth Sports Coaches Association
(NYSCA) or Rutgers Certification. Both certifications are designed to sensitize volunteer coaches to their
responsibilities and hold them accountable to a strict
code of conduct. The NYSCA training can be taken online at www.nays.org. For information on Rutgers Certification go to their website at www.youthsports.rutgers.edu.
You must provide Recreation with a copy of either the NYSCA or Rutgers Certification Card.
To obtain a replacement Rutgers Card, call 732-932-6537.
Mandatory Background Checks for all Volunteer Coaches
In 2006, the Freehold Township Committee unanimously approved an ordinance requiring criminal history background checks on all personnel involved in youth-serving programs.
Any person involved with coaching or supervising children in a Freehold township sponsored or co-sponsored program, is required to submit to a Federal and ste criminal background check. The New Jersey State Police has contracted with Sagem Morpho, Inc. to handle the fingerprinting process. Please contact the Recreation Office at 732-294-2190 to obtain the proper forms.
