Question:  Who needs to have a background check? What about scorekeepers?  When am I allowed to go on the field?  How do I find out if I was cleared?
 

 

 Answer:
 
Who needs a background check and why

ASA requires that anyone on the field with the girls have a background check.  This includes Managers, Coaches, and Team Coordinator.  Only Managers, Coaches, and Team coordinators are to be in the dug-out or on the field during games. The reason for this is to protect our girls from someone that may have a criminal past.  Since scorekeepers are not on the field they do not require a background check (like the parents in the stands).

Required docs
The following items must be submitted
1. ASA Background Consent Form
2.
A copy of your driver's license
3. Payment of $25 to Folsom Softball Club
 
Documents should be mailed to Folsom Softball Club at:
         P.O. Box 0014
         Folsom, CA 95630

When Cleared
Once the league receives your required docs and payment you are allowed to be on the field.  ASA will notify the league president if anyone comes back “not cleared” and the league will take appropriate actions at that time.
