I am required to work one full year of Jr Hi and another full year of JV before I am considered ready for varsity.

I have already worked Army, Marist and Iona with board members!

Plus, I worked in a daycare two years ago and the clearances were $35 & $20 in Pa.

You coming to the CHVBGSO class next week, Patrick?

Michigan (MHSAA) does do criminal background checks. I know very few instances where it has been an issue, but we did have one non-softball official have his registration suspended after he was arrested, and subsequently plead guilty, to a count of CSC which occurred while he was substitute teaching.

The MHSAA does a simple criminal name check and does not do a full scale background check with fingerprints required. I do know that several years ago I was required to be fingerprinted because I was an employee of the Rec League and worked with minors officiating and umpiring multiple sports. The fingerprints were no big deal to me because I also teach and have to be fingerprinted for that.

The strictest national organization in regards to background checks is USA Swimming. They have taken a very hard stance on prior issues with coaches and athletes (young), and have very strict rules regarding Athlete Protection Training (APT) and background checks. We are required to get a background check every 2 or 3 years, and do APT every 2 years. The background check does include multiple checks and has been known to produce false positive results (my drug possession conviction in a city I've never been to).

You may not directly pay for it, but it comes out of monies that you have either already paid, or monies that would have been yours otherwise.
