Background Checks
Menifee Girls Softball requires a cleared background check, to be completed annually, for every adult who goes onto the field or into the dugout at any time during practices, games, or any other activities. All background checks are required to be completed prior to the start of the current season.
Protect Youth Sports is USA Softball’s background check provider. Background checks are processed through RegisterUSASoftball.com. In some cases, background checks are a mandatory part of registration or ACE Education; however, only one background check is needed for each person on an annual basis. RegisterUSASoftball.com is the online membership website for USA Softball.
Currently, only background checks for team managers are paid for by the league. Background Checks are $33.
