The State of Pennsylvania has implemented a new process for ALL Volunteers who work with children. Our league fully supports these changes to protect our players and their families. If you are interested in becoming a coach or a volunteer, and if you will have direct contact with children, you must turn in an approved PA Criminal Background Check as well as a PA Child Abuse Clearance. For details, visit the links below.
