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

    Mississippi law (Miss. Code Ann. § 43-15-303) prohibits child care services from allowing anyone on the sex offender registry — or convicted of a sex offense — to volunteer, 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 Mississippi Law Begins

    Mississippi law (Miss. Code Ann. § 43-15-303) prohibits child care services from allowing anyone on the sex offender registry — or convicted of a sex offense — to volunteer, 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.

    Mississippi legal requirements

    Mississippi 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.
