All coaches, assistant coaches, referees and volunteers actively
involved or interacting with children in Township-sponsored or cosponsored
youth athletic associations shall obtain, complete and pass a criminal
background screening through SSCI National Background Screening Program
or other program as deemed appropriate from time to time by the Peters
Township Parks and Recreation Department.
This requirement shall be imposed upon all individuals 18 years
of age and over, and no one under the age of 18 shall be permitted
to coach a team without oversight by an approved adult.
Failure to obtain the appropriate clearances or removal of the
individual as a coach as required by Peters Township within 10 business
days of notice of noncompliance to the individual and the association
with which he/she is related shall be a violation of this article.
Upon determination that a violation has occurred, the association
shall be fined the sum of $500 and the individual deemed in violation
of the Township's clearance requirements shall be ineligible
to participate in the sponsored youth athletic association activities
until such time compliance is made.
