DPYB Manager Requirements
Thank you for your interest in managing a Spring 2026 DPYB team. We have four requirements before you can take the field in addition to board approval.
Manager Training
The four mandatory steps for manager approval are
- Background Check with Fingerprinting
- Online Concussion Protocol training
- Online Sudden Cardiac Arrest training
- Online Abuse Awareness for Adults training
The division commissioner collects proof of completion certificates and will monitor preseason activities.
These trainings must be done every 12 months.
Fingerprinting Process
In early Winter 2026, DPYB will host a fingerprinting clinic to begin the manager background check process. This must be done for DPYB specifically and cannot carry over from other programs. You need only be fingerprinted once, but the Livescan will be reprocessed every few years.
If you cannot make our free fingerprinting session, you must go out and get the fingerprinting done and we will provide the rest of the details to complete the background check.
MANDATORY MANAGERS MEETING IS FEB. 2, 2026 AT 6PM IN THE DANA POINT COMMUNITY CENTER.
There is a component to be filled out for the scanning process. Download this form below, fill it out and bring it with you to expedite the process. Also bring your photo ID.
