To complete the coaching certification process, you will need to follow the below steps. It’s a pain, but the background checks are good for 5 years. My email is [email protected]. 

PA State Police Background Check – use unpaid volunteer link. Pennsylvania Access To Criminal History - Home (pa.gov)

PA Child Welfare Abuse Check – create an account. It may take a few weeks for the results to come back. https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home

Volunteer Affidavit - MUST BE NOTARIZED! For those who have been PA residents for 10 years or more. volunteer_affidaviteditrev.pdf (pawest-soccer.org)
