🏀 Youth basketball
A screened roster is the difference between covered and exposed.
Two basketball camps can look identical from the bleachers. Only one has a documented background check on every adult in the gym. VolunteerBadge makes that camp yours — $5 per volunteer, identity-verified, before tip-off.
Screened vs. unscreened
Screened camp
- Every coach and helper identity-verified
- Documented check meets league + insurer rules
- Cleared roster ready before opening day
- Parents see a camp that takes safety seriously
Unscreened camp
- A stranger’s real history unknown
- Insurance coverage can be voided
- One incident becomes a lawsuit and headline
- Trust with families gone overnight
Basketball camp screening questions
What does a basketball camp need beyond a coach roster?
A documented, current background check on every adult with player access — head coaches, skills trainers, scorekeepers, and parent volunteers. Most leagues, schools, and gym rentals now require it before you can run the camp.
Is $5 really the full cost per volunteer?
Yes — one $5 check per person covers identity verification, nationwide criminal, county confirmation, and a 50-state sex-offender registry search. No subscription needed.
Can a trainer reuse a clearance across camps?
Yes. Each cleared volunteer keeps a re-verifiable badge they carry between your camps, leagues, and seasons.
How It Works
Three steps. Start to finish.
We stripped every unnecessary step. Here's what running a volunteer background check actually looks like.
Build your application
Create a volunteer application in minutes. FCRA disclosure language is embedded automatically — applicants sign digitally, you stay compliant from day one.
No charge to create applications or collect signatures.
Always freeWe verify address history
The moment they submit, we pull their actual address history and cross-reference it. Any gaps or addresses they 'forgot' get flagged before you spend a single credit.
No credits used. Catches incomplete applications early.
Always freeRun the check. Done.
One click searches county courts, sex offender registries across all 50 states, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC. Plain English results with FCRA guidance included.
One credit per check. No hidden fees.
$5 per checkWe verify the human — not just the name on the form.
VolunteerBadge is the only volunteer screening platform that ties a real, verified identity to every application: a biometric face match against a government photo ID, then triangulated against the SSN trace and address history behind the check. A borrowed clean identity can't get through.
Biometric facial match
A live liveness selfie — proof a real person is present, not a photo.
Government photo ID
The selfie is matched face-to-face against their official ID document.
SSN + address triangulation
Identity cross-checked against the SSN trace and address history on the report.
Enterprise-grade verification at a nonprofit price. The same rigor banks use — built into every $5 check.
