Volunteers play a vital role in the success of the Penn Academy Athletic Association (PAAA). There are many ways to get involved, and your level of participation can be as much or as little as you choose. Most of our volunteers serve as coaches for our intramural leagues and dance program, while others support our travel teams as assistant coaches, team managers, dance moms and dads, board members, and program volunteers.
PAAA Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Clearance Requirements
In accordance with Pennsylvania state law, all volunteers who work directly with children are required to obtain the appropriate background clearances before participating in any PAAA activities.
These requirements apply to all volunteers serving in any capacity within the Penn Academy Athletic Association, including:
Coaches and Assistant Coaches
Travel Team Managers
Dance Instructors
Team Parents and Volunteers
Board Members interacting with youth participants
These clearances may also be required for volunteering with other youth organizations such as schools, sports teams, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, classroom activities, and field trips.
PAAA is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all athletes and families. We appreciate the dedication and support of our volunteers who help make our programs successful.
