Required Background Check

Southern California Conference (SCC) Volunteer Background Check Policy

To ensure the safety and well-being of our youth, the Southern California Conference (SCC) requires all volunteers and staff members to undergo a Live Scan background check. This policy applies to, but is not limited to, the following roles:

Coaches
Board Members
Photographers
Team Parents

We understand that some individuals may have had prior legal matters. An arrest or conviction does not automatically disqualify a person from volunteering. Each case is reviewed individually. However, any offense involving harm or attempted harm to a minor will result in immediate disqualification, regardless of the outcome of the case.
