Volunteer · Every sport
Parents and students can coach for ARC. Anyone who coaches, referees or umpires takes one three-hour safety course, and once you have passed it, it is good for your lifetime.
ARC runs its own Rutgers SAFETY clinic about once a season, on a weeknight, online.
The course is required for parent and student coaches.
New Jersey law limits the civil liability of volunteer coaches for ordinary mistakes on the field. That protection applies to coaches who have taken a safety course, so the clinic is what puts you under it. It does not cover reckless behavior or driving.
Rutgers SAFETY is run by the Rutgers Youth Sports Research Council.
What it takes
