ALL managers, coaches and other league and team assisting volunteers are required to complete a background check. Please click on the link below and complete the attached Background Check Consent Form. Submit your completed and signed consent form along with a legible photocopy of your drivers license to volunteers@fvgsa.org or physically deliver it to Eric Coffeen (FVYSA Security Coordinator). Please note that FVYSA completes all of its backgroud checks for both softball and baseball through the vendor used by ASA, our softball governing organization. The form ask for an ASA number. If you do not have or do not know your ASA number please leave that field blank.

FVYSA pays for background checks for four team assisting personnel. Typically, that would include the manager, two assistant coaches and the team parent. Any additional team assisting personnel (i.e., additional coaches or parents helping out on the field or in the dugout) will need to reimburse the league $13 for their background check. Teams may also use their excess sponsorship funds to cover the costs of additional background checks. Everyone wishing to assist with players on the field and in the dugout MUST undergo a background check. Once a background check has been completed, each manager, coach and volunteer will receive their approved badge from the Security Coordinator. Once received, the badge must be worn at all times during practices and games.
