The American Legion is implementing mandatory risk management policies beginning in 2013 for its national youth programs that include background screening procedures and policies for the enhanced protection of The American Legion and its youth program participants. As the exclusive background screening provider chosen by The American Legion, Protect Youth Sports will conduct annual background checks for the national organization.

In 2008, NAYS established a collaborative initiative with Protect Youth Sports, one of the industry’s leading innovators of background screening solutions. This partnership was created to provide our members and other youth sports organizations with an essential service. Since a uniform system does not exist, background checks should be conducted to meet your organizations screening policies. Protect Youth Sports® has developed minimum recommendations depending upon your state to assist your organization in creating your policy.
