Background Check
As part of providing a safe, positive environment for our kids, ALL NYS named coaches are required to submit to a background check once per school year. All background checks are performed by a third party contracted by Niwot Youth Sports at no cost to you. Please click the link below to complete your background check application.
All information submitted will be held in confidence by the background check vendor. A member of NYS will review the report and inform the appropriate league commissioner in the event of a disqualification. Please download a copy of the NYS Background Screening Policy for more information.
Concussion Training
Colorado passed a youth concussion law known as the “Jake Snakenberg Youth Concussion Act”. This law went into effect Jan. 1, 2012. All officially named coaches for NYS must take a concussion training course prior to having contact with NYS players. Use the link below to complete the course. It will take approximately 30 min to complete. You will first be ask for your name (to be printed on the certificate). At the end of the video you can save the certificate and email a copy to the director of the sport you’re interested in coaching.
Heads Up Concussion in Youth Sports
Please note, that any player suspected of having suffered a head injury or possible concussion, is to be removed from play immediately. No player is allowed to return to play until they are cleared, in writing, by a medical professional.
