Why am I being asked to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check?

Ontario Soccer requires that all individuals with access to vulnerable people undergo a Police Vulnerable Sector Check. The Kincardine and District Minor Soccer Club recognizes that it is critical to ensure a safe and secure environment for all players registered with the Club.  

ALL Kincardine Minor Soccer volunteers are REQUIRED to have a valid Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) on file with the Club. 

• Any Activity under Kincardine Minor Soccer
• practices, games
• recreational, competitive
• on-field helpers, team staff

Do you have an existing one?

(If you have done a Vulnerable Sector Check in the last 3 years for volunteering at a school or participating in sports like hockey or baseball, you can use that to meet the requirement.)
