How To Renew and Update your Background Check

Why is this important?  Because our Sports Connect system can only assign volunteer roles to you if you directly apply for them. 

For example: If you registered as an assistant coach but decided at orientation to be the Team Parent, you must log into Blue Sombrero and update your volunteer application to reflect your role as Team Parent. If you do not, you cannot be allocated to the team and will not have the ability to manage the team site. 

This must be done as soon as possible, otherwise you will not have administrative access on your team site.  You will be removed from the position if this is not done by the first game day!
