"A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life." (John Wooden)
We welcome those interested in a Head/Assistant Coach position to speak with us.
Head Coaching positions require board approval. All coaches, assistant coaches and team parents must complete required paperwork including application, clearances/background checks and certifications.
All paper copies (including certification certificates) must be submitted by July 15, 2024 to:
Wayne Wildcats, PO Box 565, Wayne, PA 19087.
Paperwork
To comply with PA state regulations and Pop Warner BuxMont policies, you must complete and submit the following:
- Wayne Wildcats Coach Application
- Wayne Wildcats Team Registration
- Criminal History Record from the PA State Police
Request this online through PATCH (Pennsylvania Access To Criminal History). You will need to create an account by following the instructions on the website. The Criminal History Record Certificate is valid for 12 months and must be done every season.
- Child Abuse History from the PA Department of Human Services
Request this online through PA’s Compass system by following the instructions on the website. The Child Abuse History Certificate is valid for 5 years. Please provide a copy of your certificate each year even if you have provided previously.
- This form depends on whether or not you have lived continuously in PA for the past 10 years.
If you have lived continuously in PA for the past 10 years, download the Wayne Wildcats Volunteer Affidavit.
