Online Registration

Any parent, coach, assistant, administrator or volunteer can log onto your web site and securely register for a background check. There are many advantages over a paper system for you and your members:

  • Forms include required fields to ensure all necessary information is provided from the beginning, which helps speed up the screening process
  • People can pay by Credit Card, which helps reduce the work of processing check and cash payments
  • Email receipts are sent, providing a permanent, electronic record of the transaction
  • Real-time system gets results back to you promptly

Quality Results

Our partner, ChoicePoint®, is the leading provider of background checks, processing an average of 22,000 criminal background checks daily. ChoicePoint provides us with:

  • Social Security Number Verification, used to make sure person is who they say they are
  • National Criminal File Search, which searches a database of 200 million criminal records, compiled from many sources including:
    • Fugitive files & government watch lists
    • Sexual and violent offender registries
    • State & county criminal record repositories
    • State departments of corrections

Security

Since background checks collect highly confidential information, SportsSignup takes extreme measures to protect the privacy of you and your members.

This is a much more secure way of handling private information than having people fill out paper forms and mail them to an office where they may sit on desks or be put in some drawer. With our system, information is entered directly into a secure system, where only authorized people can access the personal information.

Integration / Reporting

Our system can integrate with rostering systems, enabling program administrators to see which coaches and volunteers have been screened and passed the background check. The service also provides reporting tools, enabling you to manage the process easily:

  • Identify who needs a background check and send an email notice
  • Display people who have had criminal activity
  • Display and manage open cases, and record notes of activity

FCRA Compliance

The Federal Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) mandates processes and procedures for handling consumer disclosure and disputes. SportsSignup and ChoicePoint are compliant, and will help to ensure your background screening program is compliant as well.
