Volunteer clearances
Volunteers do the first 3 steps that coaches do. These clearances help ensure that our kids are safe. All fees associated are reimbursable for our staff. Please send your receipts to scyiha.treasurer for reimbursement.
Steps to Become a SCYIHA Volunteer
Team Managers, locker room monitors, board members and other volunteer staffing roles are required to complete Steps 1-3.
STEP ONE
Register as a member of USA Hockey.
If you are a coach then use the same number, otherwise register as a volunteer which should have no cost associated.
Step two (4 parts)
Complete the background screenings.
This is done securely through the National Screening Program. NCSI began working with USA Hockey in April 2020.
Cost is $30 plus any affiliate fees if applicable. This fee will be reimbursed by the program upon submission of expense report.
Complete PA specific background screening
