Youth Sports
One roster, every role screened.
Coaches, staff, and drivers don't carry the same risk — or the same paperwork. ISS screens each role appropriately and keeps watching after the season starts.

Common challenges
Youth organizations screen differently than a typical employer.
Volunteer coordinators are managing risk on a nonprofit budget and a seasonal calendar — not a dedicated HR department.
Volunteers turn over every season
A roster that resets each season means re-screening a wide group on a deadline, not a handful of new hires spread across the year.
Not every role carries the same risk
A head coach, an assistant, and a team driver need different screening depth — one generic package doesn't fit all three.
Volunteer coordinators aren't HR
Most youth organizations don't have dedicated screening staff, so the process needs to be simple enough to run without one.
A clean record can go stale mid-season
A background check cleared before the season reflects that day — a new finding afterward isn't visible again until someone happens to check.
What's included
Screening built for coaches, staff, and drivers.
ISS configures the package around the role — from a single coach to a full league.
Criminal Background Checks
County, state, and federal searches scoped to the role.
Sex Offender Registry Search
Run on its own or alongside a background check.
Motor Vehicle Records
For any volunteer or staff role that drives.
Ongoing Monitoring
Records are watched through the season, not just at sign-up.
Branded QuickApp
A self-configurable application that collects volunteer information and authorization directly.
Getting started
From setup to a screened roster.
- 01Configure the applicationQuickApp is set up per role — coach, staff, driver — so the information and authorization you need come back the first time.
- 02Volunteers applyEach volunteer completes a branded application on any device, with disclosures and consent handled electronically.
- 03Screening runsBackground checks, sex offender registry searches, and motor vehicle records (where relevant) run against that application.
- 04Ongoing monitoring beginsOnce someone clears, ISS continues watching their record instead of stopping at sign-up.
Your organization sets its own eligibility criteria and makes every decision.
How ISS approaches it
One screening isn't the whole season.
Before the season
QuickApp collects each volunteer's information and authorization; background and sex offender registry checks run before anyone is on the field.
Through the season
ISS keeps watching the record through the season, instead of waiting for the next scheduled re-check.
When something changes
A new finding is surfaced to your organization as it's found, not discovered at the next renewal.

FAQs
Common questions about youth sports and volunteer screening.
Yes. Sex offender registry searches are part of ISS's screening services and can be run alongside a background check or on their own.
People behind the program
Volunteer programs run on trust. And on people who check.
A volunteer program is usually run by people with another job to do, on a season's deadline, with a roster that changes every year. The screening has to fit around that rather than the other way round.
ISS supports the coordinator and the volunteer alike: invitations that explain themselves, follow-up when something is missing, and a reviewer on anything an automated check cannot resolve. Your organization sets its own eligibility criteria and makes the final decision.
