Step 2: Complete Background Check

After you submit your volunteer application & signed paperwork, the Hyland Hills Athletics Department will send you a link to complete your background check (no fees for you) through the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NSCI).

Background checks are required every two years to volunteer for youth sports.

Step 3: Concussion Training

Every head and assistant coach must complete the National Federation of State High School Associations’ (NFHS) concussion training clinic (or other approved training) before they can coach this season at any capacity. At the completion of the training, you will have a certificate that you can either print out and provide at the coaches meeting or save and email to jhartleben@hylandhills.gov and cgammon@hylandhills.gov.

Instructions on how to complete a FREE online sports concussion training class through the NFHS can be found on the last page of your volunteer coaches' application. There are many other acceptable sports training courses that you can use. Let your Athletics staff contact know if you're already certified through another program.

Concussion training is required once per year to volunteer for youth sports.
