COACH'S BACKGROUND CHECKS

You take your kid's safety very seriously and so do we.

LPYFO requires all head coaching candidates to perform a preseason background check annually. We process our background checks through a national data base to ensure accurate reporting of criminal history.

While LPYFO reserves the right to exclude coaches from our programs for any reason the following policy is observed and enforced;

  • Coaching applicants with a documented report of sexual crimes, whether or not a minor was involved, are excluded from coaching opportunities in perpetuity. Those applicants whose background check reports show a pending sex crime charge are excluded from consideration until that charge is removed from their record.
  • Coaching applicants with felony or misdemeanor conviction, not otherwise discussed further in this policy, having occurred within the 5 years prior to the start of the season are excluded from coaching. Those applicants possessing a felony or misdemeanor conviction having occurred 10 or more years prior to the start of the season are cleared to coach. Those applicants having a misdemeanor or felony conviction between 5 and 10 years of the start of the season may apply for a probationary coaching role. Probationary coaches will act as an assistant coach for no less than 1 complete season and shall be allowed to take on head coaching responsibilities in future seasons pending LPYFO Board approval.
  • Coaching applicants with a simple alcohol or drug misdemeanor charge shall be excluded from coaching positions for no less than 1 year but may coach after that period. 
  • LPYFO reserves the right to exclude any coaching applicant, that may have been otherwise cleared, based on the type and severity of charges. 
  •  Coaching staff may appeal a decision in writing to the LYPFO Board of directors for consideration. Any written ruling by the board will be final and need not require explanation.
