PYA Volunteer Background Check Program

Pacific Youth Association (PYA) is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all of our young athletes. To help protect our players, all volunteers who work directly with teams are required to complete a background check.

This applies to the following volunteer roles:

• Head Coaches
• Assistant Coaches
• Team Managers
• Dugout Parents
• PYA Board of Directors

Each team is allowed up to four (4) approved volunteers who will regularly work with players. These approved volunteers will receive a coupon code to waive the $25 background check fee.

If additional individuals would like to volunteer beyond the four approved team volunteers, we appreciate your willingness to help. Additional volunteers may participate but will need to pay the $25 background check fee themselves.

Important:

• You only need to complete the background check once per year.
• If you coach multiple teams or serve as both a coach and a board member, one background check covers all roles.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and positive experience for all PYA athletes. Your time and dedication as a volunteer are greatly appreciated.
