All applicants for team official positions (all travel teams; all ages of house league) who have not submitted a police record check within the last 4 years may download the guidelines and steps to follow by clicking on "handout" below. To obtain your PRC online contact www.cccinc.ca 24 hour turn around service. Note the GTYSC policy on volunteers with criminal records is also available for download - please refer to the article immediately below. GTYSC wishes to express our gratitude for the generous contribution to this process made by one of our local lawyers, Paul MacLeod. Despite a busy legal practice Paul has made time to provide the club with an integral part of our police record check process. Many thanks. Handout: Police Record Check Procedure Policy on Volunteers & Members with Criminal Records This policy was adopted by the GTYSC Board of Directors in November 2002 and revised in March 2009. This forms part of the mandatory Ontario Soccer Association volunteer screening initiative. Police record checks are required for all team officials (coach, assistant coaches, manager). Handout: Policy on Volunteers & Members with Criminal Records Zero Tolerance Policy for Referee Abuse The development of youth referees is as important to soccer as the development of youth players. Verbal abuse directed towards game officials has become a significant issue over the past few years and the drop-out rate for young referees is alarming. Please take the time to download and read these GTYSC policies and notes. These two handouts were distributed to all house league parents. The first is our policy on referee abuse; the second is a note primarily for team officials regarding referee authority. Click on "referee info." on the left. Tuesday, January 23 Rules re Wearing of Jewellery on the Playing Field Some of our referees are encountering verbal flak regarding removal of players' jewellery before games. The CSA rules are absolutely clear - "no item of jewellery of any sort will be allowed on the field of play, even if it is 'taped' i.e. covered". Please click on the underlined title of this note to link to the CSA policy and review it. Thursday, May 18 To All Travel Coaches - Exhibition Games If you are planning an exhibition game (regardless of the opponent, two Grimsby teams for instance), you must advise the NSA at least 24 hours in advance. This is an OSA and insurance requirement. If an exhibition game is not sanctioned by the NSA neither the players, coaches nor club are covered by insurance. Games played out of the Niagara District require a travel permit as well from the NSA. The NSA office is at 94 Dunkirk Rd., Unit 6 in St. Catharines - telephone 905-984-8411; fax 905-984-8422. To email the NSA, click here. Wednesday, January 31 Out of Province Medical Coverage GTYSC STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that teams travelling outside Ontario for tournaments purchase supplementary medical coverage. It is available from a number of sources. One option is the insurance broker handling the Ontario Soccer Association policies - HKMB International Insurance Brokers - (currently $2.15 per person per day) click on the underlined title of this note to link to their website.

Please refrain from smoking at all of our fields and facilities. GTYSC wishes to create a healthy environment for all our participants and given that the vast majority of our 1,700 players are youth, setting an example is important. If you absolutely must smoke, do so in your vehicle. Virtually all of our Grimsby soccer fields and facilities are owned by the District School Board of Niagara - their policy manual states "in accordance with the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, smoking is prohibited on all school lands and premises".
