Risk Management Print E-mail

A quick note to all of those interested in coaching a team with SVYSA in the coming year.  In keeping with our Risk Management Policy, the SVYSA arranges and pays for a mandatory fingerprinting and background check for all new coaches.  Children's safety is a top priority for the SVYSA and we feel these procedures help maintain the integrity and security of our League, our coaches and, most importantly, our children.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by email.
