Parks and Recreation Athletic Rules

Chesapeake Parks and Recreation Athletic Rules and Policies are available on this website.  We encourage individuals who are interested --especially prospective coaches-- to become familiar with these policies.  All volunteer coaches will be required to be fingerprinted for a national criminal history record check, screened by the Virginia State Department of Social Services Child Protective Services and be screened through the National Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry website.  Those interested in coaching are encouraged to refer to the city's Criminal History Record Check Policy link to learn what criminal offenses will disqualify volunteer coaches if they were ever convicted of specific crimes outlined in this policy.  Questions?  call the Athletic Office at (757) 382-8375.

A Big Thanks To All Our Volunteers

Volunteers assist the Parks and Recreation Department in providing unique services and programs for Chesapeake residents year-round. Without our volunteers, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to continue to offer quality recreation for youth, adults and senior citizens. Volunteers are a vital part of our city. To all of our volunteers, "THANK YOU" from the Parks and Recreation Department staff and the Chesapeake Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
