Welcome to our softball coaching hub! Your one-stop destination for coaching resources, forms, and support.
New Coaches:
You must complete a Rutgers Coaching and Safety Course, which can be conducted via Zoom. You can register for the course here: https://youthsports.rutgers.edu/courses/list/
The cost of the course is $40, which is reimburseable. Please send your completed certificate to Pam@EPsoftball.com for your reimbursement.
NOTE: If you have taken this course before (even for another sport), you do not need to retake it.
All Coaches (new and existing):
New in 2025, we no longer need yearly fingerprinting done, however the Borough began to utilize a new background check system for ALL volunteer coaches, Protect Youth Sports.
It is completely virtual, and there is no upfront cost to the coaches. The new system will automatically re-screen the individual after 1 year.
Here are the steps to getting your certification:
- You can fill your application out here: https://opportunities.averity.com/opportunity/82227
- Once you have filled out the application, an email from the screening company will be sent to you for a brief online course to be completed. Note: The email may arrive in 1-2 business days.
- Upon completion of the course, you will be issued a certificate. Please email that certificate to rob@epsoftball.com
