Background Check Procedure for Coaches, Officials, Volunteers
Involved in Youth Activities
Information updated 11/22/2013
In order to help protect PA youth from criminals with histories of crimes against children, in 2006 the Pacific Association
researched ways to perform the most thorough background checks available. The procedure adopted by the PA in early 2007 is the
California Department of Justice Livescan finger printing process, the same process required by California schools and other
public agencies that work with children. Learn more. The Pacific Association reimburses
each PA/USATF member applicant for the Livescan process, and as long as the applicant maintains his/her PA membership, this is a one-time procedure.
See below.
The national USATF office adopted a less stringent background check system (TCIlogiq) a few years ago and as of November 2013 are requiring all USATF association coaches,
volunteers and officials working with youth to have this background check done. Now both TCIlogiq and the Livescan procedures are required for
Pacific Association coaches, officials and volunteers involved in youth activities. Details below.
