Where CBEOF fits
Plan checks for the adults joining your season.
Youth sports background screening starts with the coaches, volunteers and paid staff involved in your program. Identify responsibilities, adult volume and the written pathway your league, club or recreation organization is following.
General background checks, criminal record searches, fingerprint-based screening and your organization’s eligibility decision serve different purposes. Share the instructions before selecting work. Driving duties can call for a separate record request alongside the program screening scope.
Start with the work you need
Services for your business.
Choose a service below. We’ll help you confirm what it covers and what your team needs.
Criminal record searches for the requested program scope
Identify the record sources or jurisdictions you need to discuss. A selected records search has its own scope and is separate from a fingerprint-based pathway.
Driving record checks for participant-transport roles
Identify adult assignments involving driving and the record fields requested. Keep driving review alongside the separately defined coach, volunteer or staff checks.
Start with your situation
What needs to be ready for the season?
Start with the adult screening, transportation or existing-record question your program needs to resolve.
A coach or volunteer is joining the program
Identify the adults, the roles they will hold and the program’s screening instructions. Selected identity and record checks can be organized for your review, with outstanding questions identified before the organization makes its eligibility decision.
An adult will transport program participants
Coaches, staff or other adults assigned driving responsibilities may need a separate driving review. Discuss available driving records alongside the youth screening request without assuming they are included in the standard background package.
You have fingerprinting instructions or earlier records
Bring the program’s screening instructions, the role list and any existing status information. We can help identify the checks being requested and discuss LiveScan availability. Software access is not included in the screening request.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before we talk?
Answers to help you move forward with confidence.
Ask another questionIs a general background check the same as a fingerprint-based screening?
No. They are different requests. Share the specific instructions for your organization so the selected checks, any fingerprinting pathway and the party responsible for eligibility review are clearly identified.
Can coaches, volunteers and paid staff be reviewed together?
They can be included in one consultation. List each role and its responsibilities so the appropriate checks and follow-up can be scoped for each group rather than treating every adult assignment as identical.
What should we prepare for a program screening consultation?
Bring the organization name, a list of roles, the number of adults involved and the screening instructions you have received. Describe any existing status records in general terms; individual reports and sensitive identifiers are not needed in the first request.
