Volunteer Coach Application

Thank you for your interest in coaching for the City of Kettering as a volunteer!

You must be 21 years of age or older to become a volunteer coach. Exceptions to this rule are under limited circumstances and must be approved by the Volunteer Office and Recreation Supervisor. Please call the Volunteer Office for more information: 937-296-2433.

The process to become a volunteer coach:

  1. Complete the online Volunteer Coach Application.
  2. Within one business day you will be emailed these mandatory forms: Coach’s Rules and Regulations, Volunteer Coach Waiver of Liability and the Volunteer Coach Background form for fingerprinting.
  3. All youth sports coaches must be fingerprinted with the Kettering Police Records Department every two years. The background check form will need to be completed and taken with you to your appointment. Call Kettering Police Records at (937) 296-2580 to schedule an appointment. They are available Tuesday-Friday from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. We cannot accept fingerprint results from other agencies.
  4. Fingerprint results are sent to the Volunteer Office for review. If cleared to coach, you will be contacted by the Volunteer Office. If a background check has been flagged by the State of Ohio, the Volunteer Office will contact you and the Recreation Supervisor. The State of Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation will mail the flagged record to our office to review. This may take four -six weeks. This does not automatically bar you from volunteering, but you cannot volunteer until the Volunteer Office receives and reviews your paperwork. You will be notified once the results arrive.
  5. The Volunteer Office will then notify the Sports Supervisor that you are approved to coach.
