EYO Sports is proud to partner with the Howard County Department of Recreation & Parks coaches and administrators registry.  This Registry was established to further ensure the safety and security of our youth athletes through coaching education and training, as well as, to move toward a more simplified approach to coaching accreditation.  

All Coaches (head & assistant) and Team Administrators must complete the Coaches and Administrators Registry Opportunity on www.HoCoVolunteer.org before participating in our youth sports programs. Returning volunteers must update their information on the site annually and request renewal of their Registry status prior to applying for any sport specific Coaching or Administrator opportunity.  

All applicants should attach the following to their volunteer profile on www.HoCoVolunteer.org:  

Head shot from the shoulders up. This photo is placed on your Coaches and Administrators Registry badge that is required to be worn while coaching.  

Certificate from the “Coaching Essentials” course at www.ASEP.com. Volunteers can request a code to take the course directly from the Volunteer website.  

Certificate from the “Concussion in Sports” course at www.NFHSLearn.com.  

All applicants over the age of 18 must undergo a background check.  In order to complete their background check, applicants will receive an email directly from HireRight after completing their application and attaching an ASEP certificate to their profile.  The background checks are completed on-line on a secure site.   Returning volunteers will need to request an update to their registry status, including a background review, on an annual basis if they plan to continue coaching with our programs.  

To learn more about coaching in our youth sports programs and to get started in the Registry process, you can contact any of our youth sports program commissioners or please feel free to contact the following people if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns.  

Thank you.
