Burlington Parks & Recreation gives you the tools and resources needed to be a successful coach.  No experience necessary!
Coaches must complete three certificate trainings (Safe Sport, Sudden Cardiac Arrest, Concussion Compliance) and a background check prior to roster assignment. There is NO COST to you for the trainings or background check.
