Since 2010 VYI has required every coach in all of its sports to complete a background check prior to assuming any coaching duties with the children we serve. This background check consists of an extensive review of an applicant's past history and checks at the Federal and state level for any convictions in their past which might affect their ability to safely handle a youth sports team.
The checks are conducted by the National Center for Safety Initiatives, and VYI has created a software interface in its coaching application, which requires completion of the background check prior to completion of the application.
