Volunteer Coach Sign-ups and requirements have changed

The safety of our volunteer coaches, participants and families is our top priority and that is why we are updating the volunteer coach application to include a national background check and child abuse prevention training.  Please see below the steps you need to take to be eligible to coach.

How to register to coach:

If you have coached in the past and have completed the requirements in playerspace

• Email rob@ymcatricities.org to be added to the season in playerspace. 
• Once you have been added to the season, login to your playerspace account and go to "participation requirements"  there you will be able to complete the volunteer form and renew any expired requirements.

If you are new to coaching at the YMCA of The Greater Tri-Cities:

• Go To ymcatricities.playerspace.com and select "Volunteer To Coach" and follow the directions to register.

• Select the sport you wish to volunteer for and complete the following.
  • Criminal Background Check
  • Heads Up Concussion Video
  • Abuse Risk Management for Volunteers
  • Season specific volunteer form

The Heads up concussion video, abuse risk management and volunteer form can be found by going to participation requirements under you playerspace profile.

• The volunteer requirements must be completed within 2 weeks of registering as a volunteer.  You will not be assigned to a team until they are completed.
  • If you need help or access to a computer, the YMCA can help.  Please call to set up a time to come in to complete the volunteer requirements.
  • Once you have completed the above tasks and your background check has been approved, you are eligible for 2 years to coach YMCA youth sports and will only need to register to coach each season by following the steps above for returning coaches.
