​IMPORTANT: Volunteers should make every effort to complete all safety requirements prior to the start of the season. While the safety requirements shouldn’t take a significant amount of time the sooner you start the process the better.  

The best approach is to always KEEP and SAVE a copy of everything for yourself first, but then send copies of items # 2, 3 and 4 above together in one email to: Jill Cohn at jcohn@hillsdalenj.org so the town has a copy AND also send copies of these items together in one email to: coaches@hillsdalesoccer.com so the HSA has a copy on file as well. 

​

If you have questions regarding volunteer coaching compliance, please email coaches@hillsdalesoccer.com. All other general inquiries should be sent to: general@hillsdalesoccer.com.
