Criminal Background Checks-- Approved Youth Coaches/Volunteers List (updated Jan 4, 2008)
It is Mandatory that ALL Youth Club coaches and volunteers MUST submit to and pass a Criminal Background check Each Year to be eligible to participate in the Oregon Association of USA Track & Field’s Youth program.
Clicking on the ‘clubs’ link on the USATF/Oregon web-site will allow applicants to download appropriate application paper-work at www.usatf-oregon.org
New and Renewing Clubs will be listed as ‘Provisional’ until their coaches/volunteers have been screened through the Background screening check process.
Clubs that have all their coaches/volunteers pass the screening checks will be listed as ‘Fully Accredited’. New or Renewal Youth Organizational club applications will NOT be processed nor accredited until all their Coach and Volunteer applicants have been processed through the Criminal background Screening check. This means, of course, that until the club paperwork is processed and accepted that Clubs will NOT have USATF insurance coverage.
Once a Youth club has been accredited and then intends to add new coaches or volunteers, these applicants may NOT participate in the Club program UNTIL they have successfully passed the BG check.
‘Provisional’ clubs MAY NOT participate in any Junior Olympic Championships meets as a ‘Club’. Individual Athletes from a ‘Provisional’ Club may compete as an ‘Unattached’ athlete only. Youth Clubs that violate this mandate risk being decertified as registered clubs of USATF/Oregon.
Parents/Guardians/Club Administrators can check to see which Coaches and Volunteers have successfully passed the Background screening check at www.usatf.org/about/programs/backgroundchecks/info.asp?associationNumber=37 .
Coaches or Volunteers that fail the Background screening process will not be listed as such.
Criminal Information Services, Inc. (CRIS) is the company we have contracted with to conduct an ‘All State Super Search’. Jurisdictions searched include all available Administration of Courts, all available Department of Corrections, 50 state registered sex offender and kidnappers, California county criminal court index, and Interpol.
The USATF/Oregon Board of Directors has mandated that Coaches/Volunteers that have successfully passed the BG Screening check that at all practices and meets will be required to wear ‘Credentials’ similar to the ones presently utilized by the Officials Committee. The credentials will be provided by the Association and may be worn as a ‘clip-on’ or with a lanyard.
