Coaching Requirements
In order to coach in Corpus Christi CYO the following requirements must be met:
1) Virtus Training: Protecting God's Children®: Child sexual abuse is a worldwide public health issue. Child abuse, particularly child sexual abuse, is reprehensible—especially when the wrongdoer is affiliated with the Church. The VIRTUS® programs assist the Church in being a safe haven for children and a messenger for preventing child sexual abuse within the Church and society in general. We seek to achieve this lofty goal through our child sexual abuse prevention program: Protecting God's Children®. ALL coaches MUST attend one of these awareness sessions. There are absolutely no exceptions to this requirement. Please click on the Virtus Training link for information and/or to register for an upcoming session.
2) Coaches Sanctioning Workshop: CYO requires all coaches, who have not previously done so, attend a Mandatory Coaches Sanctioning Workshop. Coaches that are not sanctioned will not be able to participate in post season playoffs. All non sanctioned coaches will not be permitted to coach until sanctioned by CYO. Information can be received from the Nassau/Suffolk CYO website or by contacting the Nassau/Suffolk CYO office. CYO is offering 2 ways to fulfill your obligation to attend a Mandatory Coaches Workshop. There are live sessions offered throughout the year or there is "online sanctioning". There is a fee for the online sanctioning program. For information on online sanctioning, click here:
3) First Aid, CPR and AED training: Although not a requirement, this training is HIGHLY recommended. Coaches with this training are given preference when requesting to coach a specific team.
4) Background Checks: All Corpus Christi CYO coaches are subject to background checks.
