The Manalapan Soccer Club (MSC) is a 100% volunteer organization and relies heavily on parent volunteers to assist in the management of the Recreation program.  Recreation parent volunteers are required to complete the following step, as laid out below, to be eligible to volunteer.   This is a quick and easy process and is free for the volunteer.

• NJ Youth Soccer Background Check

The NJYS Background Check is done electronically and will only take about 5 minutes for you to complete.  There are a couple ways to sign up.  If you have coached before you can use either method but I recommend you use method number one.  If you are brand new to travel soccer coaching you will need to use method number #2.

Method #1

1.      Log in to your account on the Club’s website (www.manalapansoccerclub.com)

2.      Go to the volunteer tab on the left side of the screen

3.      Select the check box next to “Risk Status”

4.      Click on “Renew & Update”

Method #2

Watch this YouTube video for directions on how to complete the NJYS Background Check .
