Garda Vetting & Safeguarding
Garda Vetting & Safeguarding clearance is the minimum standard for any coach and/or official/volunteer who wishes to participate and/or help at Corbally United events.
These certs are validated for 3 years at a time and will have to be updated once expired (coaches will be emailed when reapplication is due).
If you are Garda Vetted with another Club or Organisation, please note this does not apply with the FAI.
Once you are validated by the FAI, your Club Secretary will link you to your age group profile allowing you to access your team.
This can also be viewed on phones using the FAI-Comet App.
The benefits of using FAI-Comet will allow coaches to submit an online team-sheet to the referee along with the match fees.
The referee will also have access to players who are eligible to play a particular age group.
