USA Volleyball requires youth volleyball programs to verify that coaches and staff have completed required background checks and training before working with youth athletes. For Alabama organizations, Volunteer Tracker automates this in a single dashboard.

    Alabama law (Ala. Code § 38-13-3, § 38-13-4) requires a criminal history background check for volunteers who provide care, instruction, supervision, or recreation to children — on top of national governing-body background-check requirements.

    National Requirements for Youth Volleyball Volunteers

    Baseline requirements set by USA Volleyball:

    • Background screening (required for all USA Volleyball member coaches working with minors)
    • U.S. Center for SafeSport Core training plus annual refresher
    • IMPACT certification (baseline USA Volleyball coaching education course)

    Where National Standards End and Alabama Law Begins

    Alabama law (Ala. Code § 38-13-3, § 38-13-4) requires a criminal history background check for volunteers who provide care, instruction, supervision, or recreation to children — on top of national governing-body background-check requirements.

    National minimums

    USA Volleyball sets baseline requirements and provides tools to track them — but those tools stop at the national standard.

    Alabama legal requirements

    Alabama adds its own legally binding mandates on top — and tracking them is your organization's responsibility. Volunteer Tracker tracks national, state, and league-specific requirements together.

    • Criminal history background check (FBI, Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center, and ALEA records) for volunteers who provide care or recreation to children, with written consent and a signed conviction-disclosure statement (Ala. Code § 38-13-3, § 38-13-4)
