ATTENTION:
ALL Class "A" Volunteers
there is a
"Protective Behaviors"
Training Policy in effect!!!
Class "A" Volunteer is defined as
an individual who will have direct contact with or supervision of an athlete.
All Class "A" volunteers MUST
complete a "Protective Behaviors" course -
an online version is available.
To access it, click on the link below:
Once you have successfully completed the course, SOME will receive an email confirmation that you have completed the training. We would prefer that everyone use the online training, however, if you are not able to, you may obtain a CD version of the training, by calling Ian Frank at 879-0489.
Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation with this policy -
as always, we ALL strive to make the program better and
safer for the athletes we serve!
