The National Council of Youth Sports (NCYS) and the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI) collaborate to help ensure the safety of today's youth athletes.
National Center For Safety Initiatives
Families trust us to find volunteers and coaches who create fun, educational and safe environments for their athletes. NCSI helps to protect youth sports organizations and their athletes by providing streamlined background screening including, in-depth identity verification, local and national criminal searches, identity verification and searches of Sex Offender Registries.
NCSI has become the leader in youth-centered background screening solutions, providing the “Gold Standard” in protection for individuals and organizations.
