Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)
Whether you are the head coach, an assistant coach, or just helping out every once in a while, all adults must complete a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC).
Kemptville and District Little League/Kemptville Wildcats policy is that all adult Volunteers shall have a valid VSC prior to the applicant being able to assume his/her duties of the current season. This is also a requirement for insurance purposes.
Obtain your Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)
To obtain a Vulnerable Sector Check you will need to download and fill out the Kemptville Wildcats Volunteer Letter.
