Background Checks

The Youth Football and Cheer Federation requires all staff members/volunteers at the league-level and those for each organization to submit to mandatory background check. This includes team officers, football & cheer coaches, team moms, etc. Each red-flagged record will be reviewed in accordance with applicable federal and state laws in conjunction with Federation policies and standards.

MEMBER TEAMS: Please do not contact any Federation official requesting a staff roster of who submitted background checks.

Start the Process

Our background checks are executed through Protect Youth Sports through a secure, online, customized volunteer portal. It is highly recommended to submit your background checks via a laptop or desktop computer. There are sometimes issues where the payment screen does not display on phones and tablets. Use of a laptop or desktop computer is recommended.
