Does HAJBA use background checks?

Yes, we run background checks on all of our board members, head coaches, assistant coaches and Adult umpires.

Beginning in 2013, we will be using a service through our online registration system (Ngin) to perform the background checks. Our volunteers will simply fill out and submit a short online background check form. Once the information from this form is submitted, a National Criminal Background Check is performed, and the results are provided to us via our online registration system (Ngin).

Through the National Criminal Background Check, we can discover any prison and probation sentences, offense history and more, for a particular volunteer. These background checks access data from the Department of Corrections, Administrative Office of the Courts, and Sex Offender Registries covering 49 states, Washington D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico.

These background checks cost our organization $20.50 per background check.

We take the safety of the children in our programs seriously, which is the reason we run these background checks. If you are chosen to coach a team (head coach or assistant), you will be sent a link that will be used to complete the background check form.
