Locker Room Monitor Requirements

All teams at the Squirt/10U level and above are required to have designated Locker Room Monitors. These volunteers are responsible for enforcing VAHA’s Locker Room Policy and ensuring a safe, respectful environment for all players.

A Locker Room Monitor must be present at every practice and game and should be actively supervising the locker room whenever players are present.

To serve in this role, there are four key requirements, all outlined below.

During registration of a youth participant, you will be asked if you are interested in serving as a locker room monitor. Make sure to select that if you would like to be a one.

If you didn't select that during registration but would still like to be a locker room monitor, send an email to the Arena Manager.

All Team Managers must have a current USA Hockey Membership Number for the current season. When registering, select “Manager/Volunteer” as your membership type.

There is no cost for this type of registration.

USA Hockey requires all locker room monitors to complete SafeSport training annually. If you’re a first-time user, you’ll need to create a MyHockeyHQ account. Once logged in, SafeSport training will be visible on your dashboard.

A background screen is required and must be renewed every two years. This screening helps ensure a safe environment for all participants. There is a $30 fee associated with this step.
