Most competitors make you call just to find out what things cost. We don’t believe in that. Every price below is what you actually pay — no surprises, no hidden fees beyond clearly noted 3rd-party court costs.

Applicants enter their own info and sign authorization forms online. No paper, no chasing people down. Mobile-friendly and FCRA compliant.
Every role in youth sports and camps involves children. Every person needs the right screen.
A head coach and a parent volunteer driving the team van are very different risks — but both have unsupervised access to children. Courts do not distinguish between paid staff and volunteers when assessing liability. The question is always: what searches are appropriate for this specific person’s role and history?
Screen the person, not just the role
The right screen depends on what the person will do AND who they are — their name history, where they’ve lived, and what records may exist in counties that databases never capture.
Start with their role
What will this person actually do with your kids?
- →Coach or counselor → federal courts non-negotiable
- →Driver or chaperone → MVR + federal courts
- →Camp director → full screen + verifications
- →One-time event helper → database search minimum
Look at their history
Where have they lived in the last 7 years? How many names have they used?
- →One county, one name → straightforward
- →Multiple counties → search each one
- →Multiple states or name changes → broader coverage
Build the right search
Use the a la carte menu below. The SSN trace surfaces every county — search each one.

- →Search each county individually

Stop guessing — set your standard once with Gap Coverage Request (GCR)
The Multi-State database is a useful starting point — but it is not a complete picture. Many counties never report to national databases, and federal convictions never appear there at all. GCR closes those gaps automatically.
You make two simple selections — once, for your whole account. Our compliance team reviews each applicant’s full address history and alias names, automatically adding every appropriate search and location. You set the standard. We make sure it’s met.
Your selections apply to your entire account automatically. Fees are charged per search per name — costs scale with addresses and aliases found.
Safeguard from Abuse™ — Child Abuse Awareness Training
A background check tells you about someone’s past. But protecting children requires more — it requires a culture of accountability. Safeguard from Abuse pairs with your background screening to create the complete child protection picture that neither can provide alone.
What it covers
- ✓Recognizing signs of abuse
- ✓Mandated reporting requirements
- ✓Creating safe environments
- ✓Grooming behavior awareness
- ✓Building accountability culture
Why it matters for sports & camps
Coaches, counselors, and drivers spend hours alone with children. A background check screens for past offenses — but training teaches your entire staff how to recognize, prevent, and report abuse before it happens. Together they protect children in ways neither can alone.
