Coaches

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 [email protected] 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:

  1. You can fill your application out here:  https://opportunities.averity.com/opportunity/82227
  2. 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. 
  3. Upon completion of the course, you will be issued a certificate. Please email that certificate to [email protected]
