Souderton Area Baseball and Softball League 2023 Volunteer Clearance Process

Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken requires volunteers to complete a mandatory background check process every two years. The clearance process requires some planning, approximately two hours of your time, and is accomplished by following the steps below:

  

1. Fulfill Pennsylvania state law youth volunteer background clearance requirements by obtaining new or submitting your valid/current (i.e., dated within the last 2 years):

 

            a. PA Act 151 child abuse history certification. Certifications can be obtained at: https.//www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home 

            b. PA state police criminal record check.  Record checks are available at: https://epatch.state.pa.us/Home.jsp)

            c.  Federal Criminal History Record - If you are a Pennsylvania resident for at least 10 consecutive years, you can substitute the fingerprint requirement with a signed league residency affidavit at: https://cdn4.sportngin.com/attachments/document/0143/7324/Background_Check.pdf#_ga=2.13840567.1477579194.1612022409-1541523950.1564171958

 

If you have not lived in Pennsylvania for 10 consecutive years, you require fingerprints. Fingerprint information is available online at https://www.dhs.pa.gov/providers/Clearances-and-Licensing/Pages/default.aspx

 

Note that the mandatory Pennsylvania background checks, reports, and affidavits must be in an electronic file for Babe Ruth clearance application uploading.
