 Why YFBCA Encourages
Getting Background Check?
1. The main reason is to protect the safety of the kids
participating in the sport from the unthinkable and to
ensure a positive youth football experience for the kids.

2. Additionally, to protect youth football leagues from

incurring liability, meet the requirements of insurers, and
to protect the league’s economic interests against would
be embezzlers.

3. Lastly, to protect the coaches themselves and insure

that the atmosphere remains competitive but does not
turn tragic due to lack of screening.
 YFBCA Background Checks
with Coeus Global?
A background check through our system includes the following:

• Turnaround time:  Our searches typically take 3-5 business days compared
to several weeks for many gov. agencies.

• Cost – the background check services we provide are an attempt to supply

the organizations with the most complete search for the cost.  Compared to
an FBI or DOJ Fingerprint our results are faster and significantly less
expensive ($51 fee for FBI/DOJ and $5-$45 “rolling fee” charged by
fingerprinting site.  A local police department background check will often
only provide results for the local city/county/or parish and does not provide
national database searches. Often times known criminals move to areas
they know there record is clean. 

• Reporting- You and the organizations you serve, can have permission
based access to those screens that affect the organization
