background screening. Benefiting from this very much proven history could not be any simpler, as over 25,000 organizations have found before.
Many of the problems that youth sports leagues encounter with background checks are caused by low quality instant checks and state-level-only background checks. Instant checks and state-level-only checks lead to missed records, incomplete records, out-of-date records and inadequate protection from sexual predators.

Sports Background Checks
Today, background screening companies are being acquired at a record rate. Background check companies acquired by venture capital and private equity firms or that have gone public are beholden to their shareholders and investors with profit maximization leading to lower levels of customer service, product price increases and loss of database integrity.
Unlike these companies, Sports Background Checks is one of a handful of consumer reporting agencies that has not had its company, its software or its people bought or sold. Sports Background Checks is one of nearly a dozen brands, powered by Background Checkology, whose ultimate company goal is to help protect and serve those organizations that help protect and serve others. Our low turnover rate of key personnel and clients allows us to continue to grow and focus on providing better ongoing products, processes, and technology by employees that are familiar with you and care. 
A common misconception is that a criminal’s history is stored under a social security number. The reality is that criminal history is stored and indexed by name and date of birth. The partial or full social security number is typically used as final verification. Criminals know how their names are listed on their criminal records and they will try to keep you off their trail by providing inaccurate information such as Bob in lieu of Robert, Lisa in lieu of Elizabeth, etc. They might even use tricks like using their middle name as their first name, create a misspelled name, using a maiden name or even creating a nickname when submitting information for a background check.
Consumer reporting agencies that perform a ONE NAME only background check often fail to identify these individuals. Sports Background Checks minimum background check package offered is an ALIAS check that searches an applicants All Known Alias’ (AKAs) and runs background checks on ALL names found for both criminal records and against sex offender registries all at one price. When protecting our youth, organizations should go the extra mile and order, at minimum, an ALIAS check.
All accounts are FREE. There is no cost to sign up and no monthly or annual fees. You are billed monthly only if your account has activity. Simple rescreening notifications. Our reporting is amazing!

Additionally, our Coach Pay and Volunteer Pay options can potentially reduce or eliminate your organizations background check costs. If you participate in Safe Sports Training, as part of our process, your coaches can upload their completed Safe Sports Training Certificate during the background check process, so it is available to review along with the background check.

*California Organizations – California legislation Bill AB506 went into effect on January 1st, 2022 and requires administrators, employees, and volunteers of youth service organizations to: Complete training in child abuse and neglect identification and reporting, undergo a background check and fingerprint submission via the California DOJ. If your organization falls into this category, mention AB 506 when applying to learn how to become compliant.
National Center for Safety Initiatives
The National Center for Safety Initiatives is the only company licensed by 
the National Council of Youth Sports to interpret the results of background screening according to the NCYS’ recommended guidelines.
NCYS membership represents more than 52-million boys and girls participating in organized youth sports. Through the use of “NCYS Recommended Guidelines for Background Check Screening in Nonprofit Youth-Serving Organizations,” the youth-serving industry now has a comprehensive and practical standard to follow. There is no need for organizations to reinvent the wheel for policy, procedures, and best practices.
The Center is NOT another single vendor background screening company. Beware of look-alike programs. The Center will carry out the entire background screening process for you, performing the check through two national databases, interpreting the results, and releasing you of the enormous burden of following federal law regarding identity privacy, data storage, and personal notification of individual volunteer disqualification, and more.
Volunteers and administrators in your organization will be best protected from possible losses due to costly litigation that can result from a lack of knowledge or resources. There is no need to train another staff person or rely on volunteers to handle this sensitive issue. All of this translates to a reduced liability risk for you.
Need more information? Contact National Council of Youth Sports (NCYS) at 772-781-1452 or youthsports@ncys.org. Contact the trained staff of the National Center for Safety Initiatives toll free at 866-833-7100 or by email at info@ncsisafe.com.
