Every Coach working with kids must pass the mandatory training, Background Check, and be confirmed by Ohio North.
JKYSC Recreational coaches are largely parents or other volunteers. We are always in need of coaches who have experience with the game, and optionally some experience coaching. By default JKYSC always places coaches with their children. If you have multiple children please e-mail the registrar with which child you prefer to coach, or multiple teams if possible.
A large percentage of our recreational coaches are simply parents like you who volunteer. We are attempting to work on better training and onboarding for new coaches, but please don’t hesitate to ask questions on Facebook or at info@jkysc.com
Getting Started with Recreational Coaching
1. Register as a Coach
You need to register in Demosphere as a Team Staff / Volunteer, you should be able to use the same login you currently use to register your child. Select the correct program . JKYSC Always assigns coaches to their kids, though sometimes we ask you to coach a different child based on need and availability. Select Head Coach or Assistant Coach as willing, we will always ask before upgrading an Assistant to a Head coach.
When registration opens in future seasons, you’ll need to re-register as a coach to confirm your availability to coach each season.
2. Risk Requirements – training and background check
New Coaches
Once properly registered/added to Demosphere and initiated by Member Services, they will receive an automated email from Demosphere with instructions on how to access their Player’s Health risk account (same process as above) to complete all four (4) risk requirements.
Returning Coaches
Do not receive an automated email from Demosphere. Returning coaches should log into their risk account (same process as above) prior to the start of the season to renew their annual risk requirements regardless if they are currently risk APPROVED or NOT APPROVED (EXPIRED) to remain risk approved for the seasonal year. Note: Risk requirements cannot be renewed more than 60 days from the date of expiration.
OSA Support
We are here to assist you and your coaches/volunteers complete their risk requirements. If you or any of your participants have questions regarding their risk requirements and/or dates, please contact us directly.
