Flip on volunteer-pays and each coach pays for their own check at sign-up — screening stays free for the gym, and you still get a verified result for everyone.
Gymnastics involves more close physical contact than almost any youth sport — coaches spot skills with their hands on the athlete, work one-on-one at the beam and bars, and travel to meets. In the wake of high-profile abuse cases, parents and governing bodies expect every adult in the gym to be screened, and a $5 check makes doing that across a full coaching and volunteer roster realistic.
VolunteerBadge runs a full national criminal background check across 650M+ county, state, and federal court records, sex-offender registries in all 50 states, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC/global watchlists — with a free SSN-traced address-history check on every applicant, no per-seat fees, and no annual contract.
Because name-only screening is unreliable, VolunteerBadge also verifies each coach with a government photo ID and a biometric selfie matched to the ID, so you know the person you cleared is the person in the gym.
