VHSL Eligibility (New)

Oregon requires a background check, one per year which covers all sports. It's not as thorough as the fingerprint kind, but I guess it's good enough for whoever. I don't know if they require it for coaches!

A few days ago, I got an email from an assignor for a huge competitive kids rec league. I've worked a few games for him over the years. He said that he is going to require a background check of this sort and refs will be charged $10 to cover the cost. However, he will waive the $10 if you attend two pre-season clinics. Also, anyone who is a member of a HS association that requires this kind of a check does not have to fill out one for him.

The local league I help run does not require this (mostly because we know all the refs personally) but does require one for coaches. I think that's quite appropriate.

Do the clinics have little plastic cups?

Actually, it's one per three years.
