In compliance with the recently enacted Child Protective Services Law, Pennsylvania now requires PA State Police (PSP) Criminal Record Check and PA Child Abuse History Clearance for all personnel volunteering with children. Some personnel may also be required to have the FBI (fingerprint) Criminal Record Check.  These clearances are in addition to the ASA Background Checks (and ACE Certifications) required for coaches participating in ASA National Championship events.
