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.
