General Information
Note to Parents
Our Recreational Sports programs rely on volunteer coaches. We understand that not everybody is able to set
aside the time each season to be a head coach, but please help out any way you can. Even if you are unable to be
at every practice or game, you can still be an assistant coach who can help out the head coach when needed.
Our parent coaches volunteer their time and talent for the kids and we need to make sure that we are supportive
of their efforts. With the cooperation of all parents we can ensure a positive and successful season.
Please also realize that when a program is full we need to close it until we have more coaches available.
Coach Information
If you are interested in helping out as a coach, please contact the Recreation Department at 201-816-8065 or email bmann@cresskillboro.org.
All coaches must be certified in the sport they will coach. You must be certified through NAYS or Rutgers. All !
coaches must be fingerprinted/background checked. Complete an on-line concussion awareness course.
Fingerprinting/Background check information
If you have not been fingerprinted you will need to pick a form up here at the Recreation office or go on-line to
print out the form at http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/052014_universform_vsv.pdf. In box # 7 you will need to enter the VRN # for Cresskill ( B04004 ).
You can make an appointment on-line at www.IDentgo.com or call 1-877-503-5981. The nearest fingerprinting
facility is in Paramus at 299 Forest Ave. 1st Floor Suite B.
When you attend your appointment please make sure you bring a valid government ID and your completed form
or you will be turned away.
Once fingerprinted please return the form with receipt attached for reimbursement. Reimbursement will not be
processed with out a receipt. Any fees incurred for missing an appointment or not having the proper documentation will not be reimbursed. A voucher will be processed for our financial department and will need to be signed
and returned so we can process a check.
Concussion Awareness Course
To help minimize the risk of concussion related injuries, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association is now requiring all coaches to take the National Federation of State High Schools Association’s free on-line
course. “ Concussion in Sports - What you need to know “. The course provides critical information designed to
minimize the risk of serious consequences due to concussions. The Mayor and Council along with the Recreation
Department, believe that it is important to take to keep athletes safe.
A second course that is also worthwhile is “ A Guide to Heat Acclimatization and Heat Illness Prevention”.
Once you have completed the on-line course and at the conclusion print out the certificate and drop it off at the
Recreation Office. Coaches will not be allowed to coach until this requirement is met. No exceptions.
Coaches and parents can access these free NFHS courses online at www.nfhslearn.com. In the top left corner of
the page. Next to NFHS logo. Click on, “ Courses” and select the desired course under the “ Free Courses” heading. In order to complete the course you will have to create an account which will allow you to manage your
courses and access your certificates of completion. If you are asked for a primary position you should enter “
Coach” and Cresskill Recreation.
Accident Reports
After any serious injuries. Coaches must send an accident report to the Recreation Department Office so it can be
kept on file.

Lightning Detection Policy
1.) When lightning approaches a ten mile radius from Cresskill, the Lightning Detection
System will activate a flashing light and an alarm will sound for approximately fifteen
seconds.
2.) As soon as the Lightning Warning System enables, everyone MUST remove themselves
from their outdoor activity and seek shelter or face severe penalties and fines.
3.) The flashing light will then continue for thirty minutes after the last lightning strike within a
ten mile radius; all fields must remain cleared through the duration of the activated warning
system.
4.) When the warning alarm sounds three five-second intermittent blasts and the flashing light
goes out, it is permissible to reenter the field.
5.) Under absolutely no circumstances is anyone allowed back on the field prior to the
Lightning Warning System disabling itself.
6.) This system may reactivate at any time throughout the duration that the fields are open
depending on the storm activity and its whereabouts. There are no false alarms.
7.) Members of the public using the parks and fields on an individual, unorganized basis
are also subject to the same policy.
8.) All protective measures must be adhered to at all times.
Recommendation: If you hear thunder as a storm approaches and the alarm system has not yet
activated, it is recommended that you use this leeway time to organize your group. The following shall be the Lightning Protection Policy of the Borough of Cresskill:
Recommendation: For places of safety during a thunderstorm, a vehicle with a solid metal
roof and metal sides offers some protection. Close the windows, lean away from the sides of
the car, and keep your hands in your lap. Do not touch the steering wheel, ignition, gear shifter
or radio.
Third Street Recreational Fields can seek shelter in the Cresskill Community Center during
normal hours of operation.
Third Street Basketball Courts need to report back to the Cresskill Community Center for
shelter as well.

Lightning Detection Policy
Five Levels of Lightning Safety:
1.) Plan ahead: Coaches should watch the weather forecast prior to using the field.
2.) Use the ‘30-30 Rule’: After you see lightning, count the seconds until you hear thunder. If
the time is 30 seconds or less, go inside. Stay inside until 30 minutes after the last strike
of thunder.
3.) Avoid Dangerous Locations: DO NOT go under trees to keep dry in a thunderstorm!
Avoid: elevated places, open areas, tall isolated objects, water activities, dugouts, open
areas such as fields, open vehicles, unprotected open buildings, and large structures
such as fences or bleachers.
4.) Lightning Crouch (desperate last resort): If the lightning is about to strike near you, it
will sometimes give a warning of a few seconds or less. Sometimes your hair will stand
upright, your skin will tingle, light metal objects will vibrate, or you will hear a crack
ling static-like “kee-kee” sound. If this happens and you’re in a group, spread out so t
here are several body lengths between each person. If one person is struck, the others
may not be hit, and give first aide. Once you’ve spread out, use the lightning crouch:
put your feet together, squat down, tuck your head and cover your ears. When the im
mediate threat of lightning has passed, continue heading to the safest spot possible. Re
member this is a last resort; you are much safer having followed the previous steps and
not got ten into this high-risk situation.
5.) First Aid: Lightning deaths are caused by cardiac arrest or the person has stopped breathing
from the cardiac arrest. Start CPR or rescue breathing if the person has no pulse or is
not breathing, respectively. Have someone call 911. Use an Automatic
External Defibrillator (AED) if one is available.
Penalties and Fines for Disregarding the Lightning Protection System
Organized activities:
The umpire, coach, coordinator or adult in charge is responsible to ensure that their group follows the Lightning Safety Policy. Disregarding the policy subjects the umpire, coach , coordinator or adult in charge to a lifetime suspension of responsibility regarding all Cresskill Recreation activities, and privileges including using the fields and parks for organized activity. Fines
shall be issued by the Cresskill Police Department if caught in violation of this policy and Borough Ordinance.

YOGA WITH ADRIENNE
PILATES WITH REGINA
Yoga is for everyone! It does not matter if you are big
or small, flexible or not, young/old, healthy or with
physical limitations. Yoga can be modified to fit your
needs. Breathing techniques are taught and used
throughout the practice and can also be used during
meditation. Practitioners will find that the movement
not only is physical exercise, but also a state of mental
concentration that keeps them present in the moment.
The result is a deep relaxation that continues beyond
class. This class is for a wide range of practitioners
and will be geared at a moderate level with
modifications being made for beginning students
as well as more seasoned yogis.
Pilates is focused on core stability, control, and
balance. It will tone and strengthen
your entire body, which helps in weight
loss. Pilates is beneficial for any
age and fitness level.
Benefits of yoga include:
Stress relief ~ inner peace ~ calm ~ authentic
happiness ~ increased strength ~ physical conditioning ~ beautiful posture ~ weight loss and
weight management ~ increased overall energy ~
improved sleep ~ to name a few.
