The Warren Township Recreation Commission is very thankful and appreciative of the many residents who volunteer their time to coach our youth in various sports. We are also committed to providing our volunteers with the necessary tools to effectively interact with the thousands of youth who participate each year. To ensure that both our volunteer coaches and youth participants have an enjoyable and safe sports experience, the Warren Township Recreation Commission and Warren Township Committee have mandated a coaches clinic for all volunteer coaches through the Rutgers Youth Sports Research Council and a fingerprinting and background check process for all volunteer coaches through the Warren Police Department.

 Introduction

 On May 12, 1986, New Jersey became the first state in the nation to pass legislation that protects volunteer athletic coaches, managers, and officials from lawsuits. Commonly referred to as the "Little League Law" (2A:62A-6 et. seq.), this legislation extends partial civil immunity to volunteers who have attended a "safety orientation and training skills program."

Since 1986, the Youth Sports Research Council, in cooperation with the New Jersey Recreation and Park Association (NJRPA) has trained more than 140,000 volunteer coaches in New Jersey.

 Objectives

 In accordance with the stipulations in the Little League Law, the Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic:

  • Helps coaches minimize the risk of injury to young athletes
  • Provides information about fundamental coaching concepts which enhances volunteer coaches' effectiveness
  • Protects volunteer coaches from civil lawsuits
Topics

 The curriculum for the Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic is based upon the Minimum Standards for Volunteer Coaches' Safety Orientation and Training Skills Programs (N.J.A.C. 5:52).

The topics include:
  • Legal Aspects of Coaching
  • Psychological Aspects of Coaching
  • General Coaching Concepts
  • Training and Conditioning Athletes
  • Medical/First Aid Aspects of Coaching
Highlights
