⚽ Youth soccer
Most youth soccer camps mean well but vet the wrong way — or only halfway. VolunteerBadge clears every coach and helper for $5 with biometric identity verification, and closes the four gaps that trip clubs up most.
Assistants, keeper trainers, and parent helpers spend just as much unsupervised time with players. Vet everyone with field access, not just the lead.
Familiarity is exactly what predators rely on. A documented check protects players and the club regardless of how well you think you know a volunteer.
A cheap name search misses people who give a false name. Identity verification ties the result to the actual person standing on your touchline.
Mail-in checks take weeks. Send phone-based invites the week before and watch your roster clear before the first whistle.
In most youth leagues, yes — clubs, parks departments, and the fields you book increasingly require a current background check on every coach and assistant before the season, and your insurer typically does too.
Coaches verify and consent from their phone, and most checks return in up to 72 hours, so a full camp roster can be cleared in the days before opening.
Anyone with unsupervised access to players does — including parent volunteers running drills or driving to scrimmages. Each is a standard $5 check.
How It Works
We stripped every unnecessary step. Here's what running a volunteer background check actually looks like.
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 freeThe 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 freeOne 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 checkVolunteerBadge 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.
Screen every coach and helper the right way — $5 each, identity-verified, no subscription.
