Coaches VSC and Registration Guide

Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) Process

All Rep/Select/House League coaches must have a valid and up-to-date Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) on file with the Welland Minor Baseball Association for the current season.

Important Note:

VSCs are valid for three years. However, coaches must submit a VSC Attestation Form each year after the first year to confirm nothing has changed since the original submission.

Step One

If your VSC is valid (within 3 years of issue date):

Complete the VSC Attestation form included with this package only.

If you need to apply/renew your VSC:

1. Apply online, Niagara Police VSC Application: https://records.niagarapolice.ca/?primessp=BRC

1. You can also visit your local Niagara Regional Police detachment in person.

When applying for the VSC, use the Volunteer Letter included in this package. Using the Volunteer letter ensures the volunteer rate ($25.00 plus an online fee) is applied, as only the volunteer rate is eligible for full reimbursement.

Step Two

If you’ve applied for a VSC, complete the Expense Reimbursement Form included in this package and email it, along with your receipt, to:  accounts@wellandminorbaseball.ca and cc: greg@wellandminorbaseball.ca & mark@wellandminorbaseball.ca

Step Three

Upload the VSC or Attestation to your coach’s profile on RAMP; please send a confirmation email to: vsc@wellandminorbaseball.ca with the Subject: VSC/Attestation Uploaded. Include your name, division, and the password for your VSC document in the body of the email, if password-protected. If you don’t have a profile - see the Coach Registration via RAMP section in this package.
