Vulnerable Sector Checks

To ensure the safety and well-being of young athletes, volunteer coaches with Minor Ball Hockey Ontario are asked to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC). This screening helps protect players by ensuring that all coaches meet our safety standards. It also aligns with best practices in youth sports, fosters a secure environment, and promotes trust among players, parents, and the community. Thank you for helping us create a safe and positive experience for everyone!
