No. No adult is permitted to work with, assist, coach or help out with an NSC team in any capacity without being appropriately checked and credentialed by MA Youth Soccer. Try to plan ahead where possible, so if a situation is going to arise, then a stand in parent has the time go through all steps and become credentialed in time to help. If you are looking to add somebody to your team's coaching staff, inform admin@needhamsoccer.com As an alternative, consider asking an already credentialed coach to step in with your team. As a last resort, you should look to postpone the game/practice until you have a credentialed coach available. For liability reasons and the safety of our players, under no circumstances can a non-credentialed adult coach NSC teams.
