Worthington Youth Boosters is committed to providing a safe environment for its members and participants. We are now requiring that our volunteers pass a background check before being permitted to act as a coach to our participants. If you have volunteered to coach and/or assist a team or group of WYB participants, you may be asked to submit personal information for the background check.

Future Background Checks may be requested at random, or based on reasonable suspicion. No one shall be required to undergo a background check more than 1 time in a 1 year period.

When you are asked to complete a background check, an e-mail will be sent to you with instructions on how to complete the online form. The information you will be required to provide are as follows…
