Volunteer Certification Requirements

Coaches and Board Member Mandatory Training and Certification Overview

The Athletics Youth Sports Section provides the mandatory training required for all volunteers and coaches. From Hillsborough County's 58 partnered programs to the user-groups renting fields and facilities, requirements for volunteers are the same across the board. Florida requires youth sports volunteers to pass background checks. Athletes, parents and coaches must also comply with Florida's new law regarding concussions and related sports injuries; all volunteers must take a mandatory coach's training class.

Every Coach, Team Parent, and Board Member 16+ years old working directly with children must have:

Concussion Training
Volunteer Training
CPR/First Aid
Background Check
Certified Badge issued by TNC Baseball

The county will be doing periodic inspections so anyone without a badge will not be allowed in the dugout or on the field. This will be strictly enforced for the safety of the children in our program.
