Think Detroit PAL Volunteer Training Requirement Checklist
All volunteers who have direct contact with children will be required to pass a background check and complete a new level of IMPACT training every year. In addition, head coaches must be CPR certified and all coaches on the sidelines during games must complete their league rules training. Due to the nature of the sport, assistant head coaches in contact football must also be CPR certified. Once these requirements are met, credentials will be issued to identify Think Detroit PAL volunteers.
