Coaching Requirements

All REC and Travel coaches (head and assistant) are required to complete the following 3 requirements:

1. USA Softball Background Check - to complete this requirement go to www.registerasa.com and create a free account. On the Home Plate screen at the bottom is a spot to request the background check (no need to also complete ACE training). By creating an account you will receive a membership number. When taking the Safe Sport you will need this number to complete the online training. You will receive a "Volunteer Background Check Passed "card in the mail (pictured below) within 7-10 business days. YOU MUST HAVE THIS CARD ON YOU AT ALL TIMES WHEN PARTICIPATING IN ALL FRGSL/FLAMES ACTIVITIES. Upon receiving please send a picture of this card - front and back to your FRGSL/Flames Director. The background check is good for a calendar year. Reimbursement requests can be sent to:

FRGSL
PO Box 24
Flemington, NJ 08822

Please include your receipt and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

2. Safe Sport Online Training - In 2017, Congress passed the Safe Sport Act as a means to prevent sexual abuse within the US Olympic and Paralympic programs. As of 2020, it is now a federal requirement that all programs within the US Olympic and Paralympic programs require adult coaches to complete SafeSport training. It is a 90-minute online training and is free. All coaches (head and assistant) will need to set up an account on the SafeSport site - www.safesport.org. As part of the registration, there's a question asking which program you're affiliated with - select USA Softball. Upon completion, a certificate will be generated that you can print or save. A copy of this certificate must be sent to your REC/Travel Director. Example below:

3. Rutgers Safety Training - All coaches are required to complete the Rutgers Safety Training Clinic. Courses are now held Online throughout the year. Go to www.youthsports.rutgers.edu for more info and to sign up for a course. Upon completion of the clinic you'll receive instructions on how to retrieve your certification card. Certification is good for life. Once you retrieve your card you must send a picture of it to your FRGSL/Travel Director. Card example below.
