We are often asked by youth sports organizations, “What type of criminal background check should I do for my staff, employees and volunteers?” Protect Youth Sports has consulted with thousands of youth sports organizations to help them understand the types of criminal records sources. Protect Youth Sport has even developed an online consultation system, so you can view recommendations for criminal background checks in each state. When searching 
the “national” criminal database it′s important to understand what jurisdictions are included in the database, how often the records are updated, what identifiers are/are not given, what search parameters are used, and what compliance issues are associated with a database “hit” as it relates to the FCRA §613.
Protect Youth Sport’s recommendations include a criminal background check, as well as a “true” 50 states sex offender registries search with several states that must be searched by “name-only”, because some states do not provide date of birth on the offenders. A social security number verification is included to verify the correct name and date of birth of the applicant and to alert you to possible mis-matches between the name provided by the applicant and the name registered to the social security number. A mis-match could indicate that the applicant is attempting to hide their true identity.

Protect Youth Sports is one of very few companies serving the coach background check marketplace that offers an FCRA §613 compliant “national” criminal database search for youth sports. Protect Youth Sports sends “instant” results for “no-hit” records. For “hit” records there is a 24-48 hour process of re-verification, in which the county courthouse records are updated to the “national” criminal database records, prior to sending results back.
