NYSSRA-Nordic individual & club membership renewals are now due. Below are a couple of reminders.

Certificates of Insurance & Additional Insureds<\/strong>
Certificates & Additional insureds can only be requested after a club has officially sanctioned with NYSSRA-Nordic. As was the case last year, all you need to do is provide the name and address of the entity that is looking for a certificate &\/or additional insured status. This is typically submitted with your club sanctioning paperwork, but it can also be submitted at other times throughout the year as needed. Please see the FORMS<\/a><\/em> page of the website for further details & instructions.

As a reminder, if an entity needs any specific verbiage on a certificate, please make sure that you know exactly what they need before<\/em><\/strong> you submit the request! This is most common with governmental agencies such as New York State.

Background Checks<\/strong>
NYSSRA-Nordic will again require a background screening at least every two years<\/strong> for individuals serving as coaches or volunteers in a position of authority over &\/or with frequent contact with athletes. This includes Bill Koch Youth Ski League leaders & coaches. The requirement started 2 years ago, so anybody who went through that process back then will need to complete an updated screening this year.

Each sanctioned club will be required to provide a list of any such coaches or volunteers in their club at the time that they send in their annual sanctioning forms. This is a mandatory requirement<\/strong>. Failure to comply will result in a rejection of the club\u2019s sanctioning request. If you have already sanctioned your club for 2023-24, please submit that information if you have not already done so.

Licensed coaches and volunteers who have already gone through the background screening process with USSA, USBA &\/or some other source such as an employer should provide a copy of their background screening \u201cgreen light\u201d confirmation. If a coach or volunteer does not already have proof of a background screening they will be required to complete a background screening application through NYSSRA-Nordic at no cost to that person.

**Volunteers with only incidental and observable contact with athletes at events are exempt from this requirement.

All NYSSRA-Nordic coaches & volunteers need to be registered members of NYSSRA-Nordic.
If the individual is not already a member and is not an active participant in NYSSRA-Nordic events, they are eligible to sign up as a coach\/volunteer on SkiReg at a reduced membership rate.

Please see the NYSSRA-Nordic Background Check Policy<\/a> posted on the FORMS<\/em><\/a> page of the website for more information.

Any questions regarding insurance certificates, additional insureds or background screenings can be directed to the NYSSRA-Nordic Insurance Committee Chairperson Sean Halligan at sxhhoops@yahoo.com<\/a>.
