The PA Child Protective Services Law changed recently. The change requires all coaches and volunteers involved with youth organizations to complete a State Police Criminal Record Check and a PA Child Abuse History Clearance. For those individuals who have not resided in PA continuously for the previous 10 years they must also complete an FBI Criminal Background Check.

Step 1

Complete the PA State Police Criminal Record Check Online Form

Step 2

Complete the PA Child Abuse History Clearance Online Form

Step 3

If you have NOT resided in PA continuously for the previous 10 years, complete the FBI Identity History Summary Check

If you plan to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach this Fall (or in the future), please complete these background checks and send scanned copies of your completed forms to [email protected]. Once these forms have been collected, the AAA will distribute volunteer credentials, which must be worn by any volunteer who helps out on the field or in the dugout.

We thank you for your attention to this compliance matter, and for helping us to ensure the safety of our kids.

Thanks,

Avonworth Athletic Association
