Howell United Soccer Club is a volunteer organization, and most coaches within the club are volunteers.  

All coaches have at a minimum a NJYS State Certificate (Formerly F Liscence)

If you're interested in volunteering to coach, please contact the Howell United Director of Coaching

Pursuant to Howell Township Ordinance 0-02-20, Howell United Soccer Club is required to have all coaches and assistant coaches undergo a criminal background check before being assigned a coaching position.

If you have been fingerprinted for another Howell youth sports program and your background check is still valid until a date after the completion of this season, you do not have to complete the process at this time. To verify if you are in an approved status please visit: http://www.instantverificationinc.com/approval-lists and search for your name.

If you have not been fingerprinted for a Howell youth sports program or your background check has expired or will expire before the end of the season you must do the following:

1. Download and complete the form at http://www.instantverificationinc.com/fingerprinting
   1. Enter N12002 in Box #7 for Howell United.
2. Schedule an appointment at a Morpho Track location per the instructions on the website.
