In an effort to make this as simple as possible, the following
are guidelines to use for screening all coaches and managers:
Who needs to be screened?
Any new coach/manager to your organization MUST be screened.
This is regardless of whether or not the coach/manager came from another
club last year. The question to ask yourself: Is this person new to
your organization this season? If the answer is yes, then they need
to be screened.
If the answer is no, then you need to check the file listed above to
see if your coach/manager is listed that they were previously screened
and on record as screened and if they are part of the “re-screening”
process. If they are not listed on our file, then you must send in a
screening application for that person as we have never received one.
How can you tell if any of your coaches/managers are
part of the 25% check?
Check the file above to see if any of your coaches/managers are listed
with the note: 25% check 2006-07 season, re-screening needed. These
coaches/managers will receive a postcard to their home from the District
saying that they are being re-checked and that they will need to submit
a new screening application titled “25% check” form. Organizations
should also follow up with these individuals to make sure that the applications
have been submitted.
What if the coach/manager was not active last season
or is not listed?
Check the file to see if the coach/manager is listed. In comparing USA
Hockey’s database with ours, we have noted the coaches/managers
that we found to be inactive. Once a coach/manager has been found to
be inactive, they must be re-screened to become active. Any coaches
who have not responded to our 25% check or have been in-active, have
been dropped from the website screening database and must be re-screened.
