BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR COACHES AND CHAPERONES ARE MANDATORY
Thank you for taking on the role as coach for your youth team this year. It’s definitely a lot of work but also very rewarding! This is the first year for required background checks for both Coaches and Chaperones. Below is a list of accepted background checks. Please read the following carefully.

• If you are a US Lacrosse Level 1 Certified coach, then you have already had the background check competed and US Lacrosse has this on file. There is no need to complete another one.

• If you have had a background check completed through your current employer, we will accept a copy or a written documentation from your employer that you have passed.

• If you have not had a background check completed, click here for directions to do so through a US Lacrosse partner, NCSI. The process will take at least 10 BUSINESS DAYS to complete and the cost is $22.50 per person.(Additional fees maybe assessed if you live in the following states: (CA, LA, MN, MS, NV, NY, SD, TN, VT).
