Tri City Youth Basketball Association

In com­mon with many vol­un­teer, child-centred orga­ni­za­tions, the TCYBA has a pol­icy that ALL vol­un­teer coaches MUST sub­mit a Crim­i­nal Record Search every two years in order to be eli­gi­ble to coach for our league. The TCYBA board is strict in enforc­ing this pol­icy so if we do not receive a CRS from you before the first sched­uled prac­tice, you will be asked not to coach your team and another coach will have to be found.

For those of you unfa­mil­iar to the process, you must visit the police sta­tion in the city in which you live. Ask them for a Crim­i­nal Record Search form, fill it out, and sub­mit it along with the per­mis­sion let­ter. They will prob­a­bly call you in a few days to pick it up or, if they are not busy when you come in, they might even be able to process it imme­di­ately for you. CRSs for vol­un­teer posi­tions will not cost you any­thing pro­vided that you have the let­ter autho­riz­ing you as a vol­un­teer from the TCYBA. The con­tact per­son for the league is Ross Tom­lin­son, and the mail­ing address to be com­pleted on the form is as follows:

PO Box 64569 RPO Como Lake
Coquit­lam BC
V3J 7V7

Please note that a CRS from another orga­ni­za­tion, or because you are a teacher, does not qual­ify. Each orga­ni­za­tion requires a sep­a­rate CRS.

We will not be run­ning a team unless the coach has a CRS on file and it will be very unfor­tu­nate for the kids on your team to miss out on even one practice.

Please mail your processed CRS to Ross Tom­lin­son at the address above. If you have any ques­tions, please con­tact Ross Tom­lin­son at coaching.director@tcyba.org.

Please obtain the CRS form from the Police or Com­mu­nity Police Sta­tion for the city in which you reside:

Port Moody Police Station
