Criminal Record Check for Volunteers & Coaches
Shuswap Youth Soccer requires that all volunteers and coaches over the age of 19 must submit a Criminal Record Check. SYSA policy recognizes valid Criminal Record Checks (CRC) for 3 years and after that time volunteers will need to resubmit. If you have had CRC done for another organization or employer, you can electronically share your results or provide a copy to SYSA admin.
The BC Provincial Government has implemented its own CRC process providing free checks for non-profit groups.
