2026 Junior Coaching Clinic

North Vancouver FC is excited to host its first-ever Junior Coach Clinic for current NVFC players and staff coaches who are interested in developing as coaches within our club.

Criminal Records Check

As part of NVFC's commitment to safety and security, volunteers are required to undergo a Criminal Record Check through the BC Government's Criminal Records Review Program's eCRC online service.

When a volunteer completes the eCRC, the results are confidentially sent to NVFC. The Club will then provide the necessary Club ID and Access Code for the eCRC process via email to our volunteers. If you are volunteering and have not yet received this information, please contact NVFC CRC to obtain the details to obtain the details.

Get your CRC:

CRC's can now be easily completed online through the Criminal Records Review Program via the BC Services Card App. You will need to download the App and set up an account which takes 5-10 minutes. From there, the account will be verified (can take up to one week) and then you can submit your application (5 minutes).

Access Code: Q5FSB5DVHG

submit your crc

The results will come directly to NVFC in 1-3 weeks. Please be aware that the procedure through NV-RCMP is no longer applicable, and that CRCs are valid for three years.
