PERMISSION
TO PERFORM BACKGROUND CHECK
I agree that Detroit
PAL has permission to perform a criminal background check for the purpose of
ascertaining my fitness to work with children. I understand the
organization I represent may be notified if I am unable to fulfill my intended
volunteer role.
VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT
I understand that my responsibilities as a youth
volunteer are of great importance and that my actions have the potential to
significantly influence the young athletes with whom I work with. I understand
that youth participate for numerous reasons and the number one reason is to
have fun. I understand that I am obligated to honor Detroit PAL rules,
opponents, officials, and teammates. I will teach youth to honor the
same. I will promote being clean and safe by respecting the
facilities we use. As a volunteer I will create an appropriate
environment that focuses on safety, fun, and skill development. I will promote
building character to have a positive lasting impact on our
children. I will act responsibly. I will provide opportunities for
every child to play. I will teach teamwork and fair play.
I will display appropriate behavior towards children
and in the presence of children. I will treat each player, coach, official,
parent, and administrator with respect and dignity. I will refrain from using
profanity, intimidation tactics, and inappropriate language. I will uphold the
authority of officials assigned to games. I will assist officials as they
conduct fair and impartial contests. I will never volunteer under the influence
of drugs or alcohol. I will never initiate or participate in any form of
verbal, physical, or sexual assault on any staff, volunteer, official, parent
or child.

hereby release and discharge Detroit PAL from any and all claims whatsoever in
connection with such use of photographs.
