[Added 5-29-2012 by Ord. No. 751]
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.
