21.10About time.....FABSIX::B_MCINTYREFri Feb 21 1997 10:2810
    
    Last night I received in the mail a form from the our local Youth
    Soccer Association (Northboro), for conducting a criminal background 
    check (emphasis was placed on past sexual misconduct history).  The
    form was generated by MYSA but it wasn't clear if this was a mandate
    for all programs (towns, coaches, etc.)....my hope is that this has
    become a state requirment for all phases of youth soccer...anyone
    know?

21.11All ref's got oneMROA::BERGARTJeff-the-refFri Feb 21 1997 11:237
        About three months ago, I was sent such a form to fill out.  It came
    from the Director of MYSA Referees.  The accompanying letter said it was 
    for all state refs to fill out and return.
    
    	Looks like its a statewide program.

21.12Evidently Not All RefsMSBCS::DIMARIOFri Feb 21 1997 12:5617
    I had heard that this was becoming a MYSA requirement.  I have not yet
    received my copy from Northboro Youth Soccer.  I'll chalk that up to
    the vagaries of the Pony Express in Northboro, since Barrett and I
    coach in the same organization.  
    
    In addition I am a registered MYSA Referee and I did not receive a form 
    fromthe Director of MYSA Referees.  However, when the NVYSL Referee 
    Coordinator sentout his regular questionaire about times and availability 
    etc. one of the questions was whether the form had been submitted.  
    I answered "No"and requested more info on the form.  So far no further 
    info has been received.
    
    While I hate bureaucracy in general, I am all for this in concept.  Our
    youth are too important to all of us. It is a good idea to take a few 
    extra steps to help insure their safety.

21.13needed for assistant coachGRUFFY::ZAHORARob ZahoraFri Feb 21 1997 15:514
    I was asked to be an assistant coach this year for my younger son's
    town team in Burlington.  I had to submit the filled out form along
    with a photo to go with the ID card.  So it looks like they are serious
    about getting everyone to meet these requirements.
21.14I like it....FABSIX::B_MCINTYREFri Feb 21 1997 15:537
    Have to agree with you Bob, not a big fan with how difficult we adults
    can make things, but of all the changes this year...I really think this
    is the most positive thing being done.....
