Volunteer Coaches

The success of our program is largely due to the efforts of our volunteer coaches. If you have softball or coaching experience, or are willing to assist, please fill out that section in your child’s registration on Community Pass. Volunteer coaches must attend a one-time Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. clinic and pass a criminal background check via fingerprinting, per Township Ordinance and Recreation Department regulations.
