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 Connecticut organizations, Volunteer Tracker automates this in a single dashboard.

    Connecticut law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21a-432) requires youth athletic organizations to run a comprehensive background check on coaches, instructors, and athletic trainers at least once every five years — 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 Connecticut Law Begins

    Connecticut law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21a-432) requires youth athletic organizations to run a comprehensive background check on coaches, instructors, and athletic trainers at least once every five years — 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.

    Connecticut legal requirements

    Connecticut 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.
