Youth football

Screen every football camp volunteer before they hit the field.

A youth football summer camp puts dozens of volunteer coaches and helpers shoulder-to-shoulder with kids for long, high-energy days. VolunteerBadge clears all of them — coaches, trainers, and field parents — for $5 each, with biometric identity verification so the person on your sideline is exactly who they say they are.

Who you're screening at a football camp

Anyone with unsupervised access to your players belongs on the screening list — not just the head coach.

Volunteer coaches

Position coaches and drill leaders who run players through contact reps all day.

Team parents & helpers

Water, equipment, and scrimmage volunteers moving freely among the kids.

Trainers & spotters

Conditioning and safety volunteers with hands-on, one-on-one player contact.

Most youth sports leagues, school districts, and the facilities you rent now require a documented background check on every adult on the field — and your insurance likely does too. One unscreened volunteer can void coverage and put your players at risk. A $5 check per coach closes that gap.

What each $5 coach check includes

Biometric identity verification — no fake names behind a whistle
Nationwide criminal database + county-level confirmation
50-state sex-offender registry search
FCRA consent and adverse-action handled for you
A reusable badge each coach carries into fall season

Football camp screening questions

Do volunteer football coaches really need background checks?

Yes. Volunteer coaches and trainers have repeated, often one-on-one contact with minors, which is exactly the access most state youth-protection laws and league/insurance policies require screening for. Many youth leagues and facilities now mandate a current background check before anyone steps on the field.

How fast can I clear a full coaching roster before camp starts?

Most VolunteerBadge checks return in minutes to a day or two. Coaches complete identity verification and consent from their phone, so you can send invites the week before camp and have a cleared roster by opening day.

What about parent volunteers who help on the field?

Anyone with unsupervised access to players — water/equipment parents, scrimmage helpers, drivers — should be screened the same way as coaches. They each run as a standard $5 check.

Can a coach reuse their clearance for fall season?

Yes. Each cleared volunteer gets a re-verifiable badge they can carry into your fall program or another organization, so you are not paying to re-screen the same coach every season.
