Notice to ALL Team Managers and Assistants (All Sports):
Due to numerous questions concerning our Background Check Policy, we thought that the following guidelines should help
alleviate some of the confusion and emphasize the importance of Background Checks. It is the requirement of the Anne Arundel
County Department of Recreation and Parks that all persons, who coach or assist any coach, MUST be identified and
Background Checked every three years. This requirement is for the safety of our children.
In order to comply with these requirements, LFYAA has decided to prepare our “Green Book” approach for each and every Team
Manager to follow. At our Team Draft meeting, each and every Team Manager receives a “Green Book”, which is a folder
containing all the information and forms that a manager will need to care for his/her team. In the center of this folder, our
organization’s “Code of Conduct” describes how all managers and assistants MUST behave. Additionally, the center of the Green
Book contains job descriptions for many positions on the team as well as several Policies and Procedures for our organization (a
complete set of Job Descriptions, Policies and Procedures, and Blank Forms may be found on our WEB Site – www.lfyaa.org ).
The Left and Right Pockets contain several forms, which MUST be completed and maintained (kept current) by the Team
Manager. These forms and policies are explained at the Team Draft meeting.
One of the most important forms in our Green Book is our “Team Staff” form, which MUST be completed by the Team Manager.
Each and every Team Manager MUST provide a list of all assistants, including Team Parent. As additional people volunteer to
help with the team, the Team Manager MUST provide a new Team Staff form to reflect all team helpers. These individuals MUST
not help with the team in any way until they are properly Background Checked and placed in the County “Active Volunteer
Database” - http://www.aacounty.org/RecParks/background/resource/volunteer_report.pdf
Any Team Manager, who is caught without their up-to-date (current) Team Staff form with them, will be initially “Warned” of this
infraction. The second offense will result in a one (1) game suspension. A third infraction will result in a permanent suspension
from coaching and/or managing a team at LFYAA.
The County has levied severe penalties on several organizations, which have teams with un-Background Checked individuals.
Additionally, there were even more severe penalties for the individuals (Team Managers), who were responsible for these teams.
If you have any questions or confusion concerning this or any LFYAA Policy, please stop by the Fieldhouse and see the Sports
Commissioner for clarification. We are here for the safety of your child!
