CHILD PROTECTION BACKGROUND CHECK

ELECTRONIC MYSA SUBMISSION

DOWNLOAD FORM (mail to MYSA address on form)

For the protection of our children, as you may know, FUSC and Mass Youth Soccer is moving to a National Background check as of this September. The Massachusetts check we used to do will be part of the new national check.  However, recently the Massachusetts Legislature passed some new rules regarding Massachusetts background checks and has laid on some new requirements which we must comply with even though we are moving to the national program.

Mass Youth Soccer MUST now collect from every adult involved in youth soccer basic information to conduct a criminal background check. The reason for the new form is to help determine if the person we are checking the background on, is in fact the same person who is part of the Mass Youth Soccer program. I guess the concern was just providing name, address and date of birth left too much room for duplication and potential error. The legislature wanted to ensure more information was available to ensure accuracy.  The good news in all of this is that there is still no requirement to collect and provide social security numbers.

We will make every effort to make it as easy as possible for folks to submit the information. You have the option to electronically submit the information to the MYSA or download a form to mail to the MYSA.  We fully appreciate this is but yet another requirement that must be met, however the intent is to protect, to as great an extent as possible, the children. A very worthy objective.  We ask your assistance in helping us collect this information. All of the information on the form is REQUIRED.
