Description: All coaches of youth sports 16 years of age and above are required to complete certification. As a local chapter of the New Jersey Youth Sports Association, the Recreation Commission mandates that all recreational coaches be certified.

There is no clinic fee for current coaches in any Wood-Ridge Recreation program. 

If you want to coach sports in
Wood Ridge, you must be a
certified coach.  If you have never
been fingerprinted or have not been finger printed in the last 3 years, follow the instructions below.
