Volunteer parent coaches generously give their time and energy to help lead and guide our athletes through their season. All coaches are required to be fingerprinted and attend a VIRTUS training program provided by the L. A. Archdiocese. Volunteer service hours are given for the time spent coaching a team. .
Parents are responsible for getting their athletes to the games and practices. Volunteer parents may provide transportation on game days. It is up to the athlete’s parent to make arrangements for driving/carpooling to and from practices and games. .
Parents interested in driving athletes other than their own to practices and games must submit a copy of their driver license and current auto insurance policy declaration page showing at least 300K medical and 200K per accident coverage. This required information will be collected at the sports orientation meeting and kept for our records. The school health office coordinator will confirm your eligibility to drive other OLG student athletes..
