In preparation for the Spring Sports Season, the Nutley Department of Parks & Recreation has scheduled the Rutgers Safety Clinic, to ensure all coaches are prepared for that exciting first practice.
With the wide range of sports activities offered by the Nutley Department of Parks and Recreation, it is essential that our volunteers be supplied with the information that will allow them to evaluate and determine solutions for specific situations. The Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic (Sports Awareness for Educating Today's Youth) is a three-hour orientation program that meets the "Minimum Standards for Volunteer Coaches Safety Orientation and Training Skills Programs” and provides partial civil immunity protection to volunteer coaches under the "Little League Law" .
This program will assist coaches and volunteers in building the knowledge and proficiency needed to manage each individual sport and deal with various scenarios. “The major focus of this clinic is to promote coaches to do the best job possible while developing our children’s abilities” states Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci. In order to prevent serious injuries we need to educate residents to the best of our ability.
The Rutgers Safety Clinic will be held at the Nutley Parks & Recreation Department (room 300) on Wednesday, April 7, 2010. Registration will begin at 6:30 p.m. and class will begin 7:00 p.m. sharp. A resident fee of $25.00 per person and a non-resident fee of $30.00 per person, may be made payable to the Township of Nutley/Coaches Clinic. Pre-registration is required for this course. Online registration is also available at www.nutleynj.org. If you would like further information on the Rutgers Safety Clinic, please contact (973)284-4966, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
