All Adult Volunteers in the Athletic Ministry must complete both a Background Screening and VIRTUS Safe Environment training before becoming involved in coaching or any work with children or the vulnerable. As required per the Atlanta Archdiocese.
You must create a profile on our website and register as a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, or Safe Environment Monitor for each sport and season you plan to coach. Within 2 business days of registration, you’ll receive an email from us with instructions.
Once both Safe Environment steps are complete, you're cleared to coach for the next 5 years, after which you'll need to renew online.
Step 1: Complete an online background check via an email from Sterling (usually processed within 2 weeks).
Step 2: Complete VIRTUS training. Create a profile at virtus.org and attend an in-person session if it’s your first time volunteering.
We have a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the year and always need general help in running the leagues. Coaching opportunities for the current season are always available when you register. If you would like to become more involved we always need:
Parish Athletic Directors – This position helps coordinate a certain age group for each sport. They work with coaches to form teams and to manage fields and equipment for the season. They attend league meetings for their sport and communicate with the parents at the parish about activities for the season.
League Directors – These positions help to coordinate the activities of a sport. They work with parish directors regarding league rules, schedules and general season coordination. They are responsible for the league tournament and for resolving any issues during the season. They also oversee league officials and scheduling.
General Assistance – As an organization we always need help with general assistance during the season. If you are interested or have a special skill that would help us grow the ministry please contact us here
