🏃 Track & field
A dozen events. A dozen volunteer coaches. Screen them all.
Track & field camps fan kids out across the infield and oval, each event run by its own volunteer. That spread of adult-athlete contact is why every event coach needs a check. VolunteerBadge clears the whole field for $5 each, identity-verified.
Every event area to screen
Track camp screening questions
Track camps have a coach for every event — do they all need checks?
Yes. Each event area — sprints, jumps, throws, distance — is often run by a different volunteer working closely with athletes. Every one needs a documented $5 background check.
Many of our event coaches are last-minute parent volunteers. Is that a problem?
Only if you cannot screen them in time. Phone-based verification returns most checks same-day, so even a coach added the day before can be cleared before they run an event.
What about throwing-event coaches working one-on-one?
Throws and pole vault especially involve close, individual coaching — exactly the access that makes screening essential. They run as the same $5 check as any other volunteer.
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.
