Pre-Employment Screening
Clubs are responsible for hiring and supervising their own coaches and staff, and managing their own volunteers. Responsible and thorough hiring practices are critical to maintaining a safe and healthy training environment for our members. The pre-employment screening program requires clubs to conduct three required screens prior to offering employment to any potential employee
(1) past employment reference checks
(2) verify the highest held level of education
(3) acquire a state motor vehicle report.
Clubs are also encouraged to complete two option screens:
(1) social network search
(2) Google media search
