All Board Members and Coaches (FLAG, TACKLE, CHEER) must comply with this requirement.  Please read the explanation below and also use the links at the bottom of the page to complete your THREE (3) Mandatory Checks. 

The Pennsylvania State Legislature has a law that all persons having repetitive contact with children have the following clearances, (1) criminal history from the Pennsylvania State Police and (2) Child Abuse History Clearance from the Department of Human Services.  Additionally, a (3) fingerprint based federal criminal history (FBI) submitted through the Pennsylvania State Police or its authorized agent is required if the position the volunteer is applying for is a unpaid position; and the volunteer has lived outside the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the last 10 years.  If you have lived here for 10 years, you do not need the fingerprinting, just the signed Signature Form.  So ultimately, you will need to submit THREE (s) items to the Hawks for your Clearances.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recently passed a state law known as the Child Protective Services Law. The intent of this law is to protect the youth of Pennsylvania. All youth serving organizations within the Commonwealth are covered under this new law. Volunteers in all District 22 Leagues are required to provide background check clearances. Please review this information and take the required action.

Who is required to comply with the new Pennsylvania law?

All adults who have care, supervision, contact with children or routine interaction with children must have proper clearances. All registered Coaches and Assistant Coaches, Board Members and all other direct-contact volunteers must have proper clearances.
