Council Rock United Soccer is proud to announce its partnership with
National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI) with whom we will engage
in a comprehensive background screening program for our coaches and
volunteers to ensure the highest level of safety within our programs.
The background screening uses NCSI’s Check it Twice™ product and a
simple “Red Light/Green Light” clearance report issued in accordance
with the Recommended Guidelines® published by the National Council of
Youth Sports. Council Rock United Soccer has worked with NCSI to ensure
that this process is convenient, secure and confidential.
This background screening process applies to all club personnel and
volunteers who work with our children. This includes Coaches, Assistant
Coaches, Team Managers, Trainers, the Board of Directors, office
adminstrative staff and others as necessary. Generally, the simple test
to determine if screening is required is anyone coaching or training our
players, or anyone who would have reason to be in an authority role with
the players as part of a soccer-related activity. An example of someone
who would not need to be screened is a parent who helps out during
practice while another screened coach/assistant or manager/trainer is
present, or a parent who provides transportation for another player with
that player’s parental consent. It is the Head Coach’s responsibility to
ensure that assitants, trainers (both inside the club and outside), team
managers, others associated with their team comply with these
requirements and complete the screening BEFORE they interact with your
players. For travel teams we have assumed that generally, a Head Coach,
Assistant Coach, and possibly Team Manager (if they are different from
the coach/assistant and will be in a position to supervise players
without the coach/assistant) will register. For intramural teams it was
assumed that the head coach would register. If you have questions about
your situation or will be registering more team officials, email us at
admin@crusa.net for clarification. Note that by federal regulation -
minors under the age of 18 cannot complete this screening. Accordingly,
all minors undere the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult with a
current background screening. The screening must be renewed online
annually from the month of initial application. There is no cost to the
applicant - all costs to implement this new system are covered by player
registration fees.
