Coach Liability

Last Revised on August 08, 2022

Although liability issues and concerns dealing with volunteer coaches are not as demanding as those for paid coaches, it is always important to act in a reasonable and prudent manner when performing the duties associated with coaching. Volunteer coaches’ liability issues are addressed in the Delaware Code Title 16, Chapter 68(v) of the Delaware Code. All coaches and volunteers are encouraged to review and be familiar with that information for their own benefit.

Even though State law provides for these limitations on liability, coaches must adhere to the Volunteer Covenant and any other school, parish and Diocesan procedures at all times.
