Background Check Information

The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors approved the National Background Check for those individuals associated with cosponsored youth leagues (i.e. coaches, board members, etc). It was originally proposed and discussed in public hearings to have all current approved background eligibility cards expire in December 2004. However, it was approved that all NEW coaches will be required to go through the new background check process, which includes fingerprinting. This fingerprinting process will take place in January, February, and March 2008 on the following dates, times, and places. All approved individuals will be sent a national background check card with an expiration date of three years. Current background check cardholders may be selected for random background checks beginning July 2005. Those selected will be notified and will need to proceed through the fingerprinting process and once approved receive a new card. Within three years all coaches should have a new national background check card.

Background Check for Co-sponsored Youth Organizations

Policy Changes

  • Felony violation relating to drug distribution is now a barrier crime.
  • Felony violation of drug possession has changed from within five (5) years to eight (8) years.

Procedural Changes (effective January 2005)

All new coaches will be required to go through the new national background check which will require coaches to submit in person a new application form, show a picture ID and be fingerprinted.

  • Beginning in the fall of 2005, existing coaching card holders who received their cards prior to January 2005 will start to receive a letter in the mail stating that they have been randomly selected to go through the fingerprint process to receive a current National Background Check coaching card. If you receive this letter, you have 60 days to attend a background session. Existing coaching cardholders should NOT come to be fingerprinted at a background check session until they receive the renewal letter in the mail.

Approved Background Check Cardholders

The following link is an alphabetical list of coaching cardholders that have completed the background check process and have been approved to coach in Chesterfield County. Beside the cardholders’ name is the expiration date of their card. Approved Background Check Cardholders
