How much does a youth sports background check cost?

$25 flat per check, pay-as-you-go. No subscription, no annual contract, no minimum volume — screen three volunteers or three hundred.

What do our coaches actually have to do?

They get an invite by email or text, scan the front and back of their photo ID with their phone, and complete a quick face scan. No forms to type, and the whole thing takes a few minutes.

Does the SafeSport Act apply to our league?

If you're an amateur youth sports organization with adults in regular contact with minor athletes, federal law requires screening. Many state and league rules go further — check your governing body's requirements.

Do we have to re-screen every season?

Most leagues and insurers expect it. The Continuous Monitoring add-on re-checks automatically every six months, so returning coaches stay cleared without re-enrolling.

Can I see screening status across all my teams?

Yes — one dashboard covers your whole organization. Cleared, pending, and needs-review status for every coach, ref, and volunteer, across every team and division.

Can volunteers pay for their own checks?

Your call — the league can pay centrally, or the cost can be passed to volunteers at invite time.

Is this FCRA compliant?

Yes. Checks run through PBSA-accredited partners, with the required disclosures and consent built into the candidate flow.

For team & league owners

SafeSport Act (2017)

The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act requires amateur sports organizations to screen adults in regular contact with minor athletes.

State & league rules vary

Many states and governing bodies layer their own screening requirements on top. Your league's requirements determine your package — our standard package covers the common baseline.
