Below is a link to some online learnings created by Y-USA with ‘tools and tricks’ for coaching our individual sports programs as well as information on safety, concussions and even parents’ role in the youth sports programs.

They describe the Y's philosophy on youth sports; offer basic coaching techniques, including practice plans, skills, drills, rules, and tactics; and outline valuable volunteer resources.

Child Abuse Prevention training.

The safety of the children in our care is paramount and therefore all staff and volunteers are required to attend annual Child Abuse prevention trainings (CAP). Usually, we would have a link for you that goes directly to Volunteer CAP training, however the page is currently being updated, so at this time we are requiring that all volunteers complete the same training we require of our staff.

To complete this you will need to create an account with Great Academy. The pdf below has all the information you need to do so:

Once you have an account, or if you already have one, log in via:
