Yes they are...the same background check that teachers have to go through. It involves fingerprinting and everything...many of the Youth organizations require it also - I helped out coaching my youngest son's Clark County Youth Football team and was required to do the fingerprints and all - since I am a teacher I had already had it done and was able to waive it. I know my Church was required (I think it was by our Insurance carrier) to do the same background checks on anyone working with any kids - from the high school youth group down to the nursery workers.
