After completing an online registration, every coach must complete an annual criminal background check.There is a $5.40 fee for the criminal background check, which is the responsibility of the coach when completing the criminal background check.

• All new coaches will receive an email from the current ASA background check provider requesting completion of and payment for a criminal background check.
• Returning coaches who have an expired background check will also receive an email from the current ASA background check provider requesting completion of and payment for a criminal background check.

Once a criminal background check has been completed, a team invitation code will be emailed to coaches in all sports with the following exceptions, as these sports do not use the team invitation code for team formation.
