Clearances

Anyone interested in coaching football or cheer MUST obtain both state Child Abuse and state Criminal Record checks every season.  Failure to provide proof of both clearances will result in failure to coach.

  1. PA State Police Criminal Record Check https://epatch.pa.gov/home
  2. ChildLine (PA Child Abuse History Clearance through the Department of Human Services) https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
