Do I need to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) if I want to coach/volunteer?

Leduc Soccer prioritizes the safety of its members. To volunteer or coach, you must submit a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) every 3 years. If you already have a VSC, it can be used as long as it is no older than 90 days at the time of submission; otherwise, a new VSC is required. VSCs are valid for three years with Leduc Soccer.  You must submit a new VSC, if you have been charged with, convicted of, or subject to any legal restrictions (e.g., peace bonds, probation, or restraining orders) since your last VSC submission to LSA.    We will verify our records and may request a new VSC if none is on file or if it's outdate

​To obtain a VSC you will need to first modify, print and present this VSC Letter to the police, necessary to get the police to waive the VSC fees, and provide two government-issued IDs like a driver's license, passport, or birth certificate to the police.   Please modify the VSC letter by choosing "Vulnerable Sector Check" from the initial dropdown menu,  updating the "Applicant Legal Name" to your own name, and specifying your role (such as Coach, Team Manager, etc.) as illustrated below.

​​​

To obtain a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC), residents must visit specific law enforcement offices depending on their location. Here's what you need to know:

• If you live in City or County of Leduc, visit your nearest RCMP detachment during business hours.  In Leduc the RCMP is located here
• If you live in the City of Edmonton, you will need to go to specific Edmonton Police detachments to get a VSC as not all detachments offer this service. More details can be found here:  https://edmontonpolice.ca/CommunityPolicing/OperationalServices/PoliceInformationCheck/VulnerableSectorChecks.

For the Edmonton Police, appointments are recommended, and wait times can be lengthy. More details can be found here: https://edmontonpolice.ca/CommunityPolicing/OperationalServices/PoliceInformationCheck.
