Coaches, Parents and Volunteers: To better prepare our coaches and help insure the protection of your children, while participating in the sports hosted by the Williamsburg Junior Athletic Association, WJAA is now NAYS affiliated. This initiative will provide efficient training and background screening to our coaches and volunteers. Please read the below information.

 

All Volunteers 

Anyone interacting with the children participating at WJAA, will need to pass a background screening prior to volunteering. This includes, but is not limited to, team moms and anyone helping on the fields/court during practice. If you have a question as to whether or not you should get your background screening, please send an email for further clarification to WJAA VP.  We have negotiated a reduced rate for the background screening to only $16.95. As a volunteer, you will need to renew your background check every 3 years.
