The Maryland Lady Comets are using Protect Youth Sports for our Coaches Background Checks.
Greetings and GOD Bless Coaches and other Volunteers. To better assure the well being of our Young Ladies, the Maryland Lady Comets now require all Coaches to have background checks thru Protect Youth Sports or thru the NCAA. All Coaches should click on the link to start the process. There is a $14.00 fee. Our older age groups (14, 15u & 16u) Coaches may want to go thru NCAA, due to having to have to be NCAA certified in NCAA sanctioned events. That cost is $40.00 for two years. Everyone who will coach for this program MUST be certified thru one or the other starting this September 2011. Thanks so much and GOD Bless.
For coaches, volunteers:
