Fingerprinting
Subscribe to our NewsletterAll head and assistant coaches must be within the 3 year validation window at all times they are involved with a team (ex. March thru June for recreation; September through July for travel). All recreation coaches must have a valid background check on file no later than March 12, 2018 to be eligible to coach in the FRGSL for this season. Example: Your background check expires on May 18, 2018, therefore, you must complete your updated check by April 1, 2018.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY FINGERPRINTED THROUGH FRGSL:
If you have been fingerprinted and approved on or after August 1, 2015, and FRGSL has a record of the approval, you do not need to be fingerprinted again at this time. If you are unsure, please send an email to the League President via the Contacts Info link on the home page.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY FINGERPRINTED BY ANOTHER YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM:
If you have been fingerprinted and approved on or after August 1, 2015 by another youth sports program, please complete the fingerprinting release form (located at the top of this page), sign and mail (either PO Box 24, Flemington, NJ 08822 -or- via email to the League President). Please specify the name of the organization so that we know who to contact. You must also complete the authorization expiration date on item #6. This will allow your records to be released to FRGSL.
PLEASE NOTE:
Remember that only backgrounds conducted under the VRO process are applicable for our use. Other background checks for such instances as employment, are not applicable for our use. Also, we will only release results to those organizations that are governed under the VRO process. This background check cannot be used for employment purposes.
IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FINGERPRINTED -or- IF IT IS GREATER THAN 3 YEARS SINCE LAST FINGERPRINTING -or- IF THE LEAGUE DOES NOT HAVE A RECORD:
