Background Screening

• As we begin a new year at East Montgomery we will again utilize an online process for conducting background checks. All Board Members, League Vice-Presidents, League Concessionaires, Managers and Coaches will be required to complete a background check. Team Moms who are in the dugout or have contact with the players will also need to complete a background check. Any volunteer who will be serving as an in-room chaperone on tournament team trips will also need complete a background check. 
• The online process will require each person to conduct his/her own background check at an expense of $5.95. If your background check meets the requirements established by the Board then you will be cleared to be eligible to volunteer. However, please understand, that being "cleared" by the background check does not guarantee you being selected for a position. Not completing or not being cleared guarantees you will NOT be considered for a position.
• This online process offers several advantages to the league as well as the prospective volunteer. No one at the League will have your personal information, you enter it yourself. The league will not know what is in you background, we are only notified that you cleared or did not clear the background check. If for some reason you are not cleared, you have a right to contact KnowMyHire and the East Montgomery Board of Directors to discuss your background check. Your point of contact at East Montgomery is Commissioner John Mitchell. Managers must be cleared before participating in the draft process so do not wait until the last minutes. It can take as long as three days for you to be cleared.
• We fully understand that each volunteer provides his/her time, effort, and energy toward our kids and we truly appreciate and value each of them. This is truly the most confidential and cost effective way to make sure that we provide as safe of an environment as possible for our youth. You are only paying half of the cost of these background checks since the League pays the first $6.00 of your cost for you. You only pay the $5.95.  In order to make sure that each of our kids are protected and safe, these background checks are a necessity. This is truly the most confidential and cost effective way to make sure that we provide as safe of an environment as possible for our youth.
• In order to be transparent, this document explains the criteria of the background check.
• Below you will find specific instructions on how to complete you background check. Please understand that part of the reason for choosing this method is that East Montgomery will not have your personal information, we will not receive any of your personal information from KnowMyHire, and we will not receive a copy of your full report. We will simply receive a notification that you are cleared or you are denied.
• Thank you for your understanding and willingness to volunteer your time for the youth of East Montgomery.

PLEASE NOTE! Falsifying any information during the submission will automatically flag you as a denied individual.
