Safety Clinic Offered for Nutley Coaches

In preparation for the Fall Sports Season, Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci and the Nutley Department of Parks & Recreation have scheduled the Rutgers Safety Clinic to ensure all coaches are ready for their first practice.

Officials said that with the wide range of sports and activities offered by the Nutley Department of Parks and Recreation, it is essential that our volunteers be supplied with the information that will allow them to properly react to situations and emergencies.  

The Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic (Sports Awareness for Educating Today's Youth) is a three-hour orientation program. It fulfills requirements for Volunteer Coaches Safety Orientation and Training Skills Programs set by state law and provides partial civil immunity protection to volunteer coaches under Little League law.

This program teaches coaches and volunteers how to manage sports and deal with various scenarios.  

“The major focus of this clinic is to promote coaches to do the best job possible while developing our children’s abilities,” Nutley Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci said in an announcement. “In order to prevent serious injuries we need to educate residents to the best of our ability.” 

The Rutgers Safety Clinic will be held at the Nutley Parks & Recreation Department (room 300) on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Registration will begin at 6:00 p.m. and class will begin 6:30 p.m. sharp. This program is open to Nutley Residents only.   Pre-registration, which is required for the course, can be done here: https://nutleynj.my.gov-i.com/recreation.  

There is limited space available.
