Background Checks
Pop Warner Mandatory Background Checks:
Pop Warner programs nationwide are required to annually conduct a background check of: Coaches, Board of Directors members and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers, who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players and/or spirit participants. The purpose of these background checks is, first and foremost, to protect the children.
Background Check Affidavits:
The required affidavits corresponding to the background check investigations are now available for download (See Below). Please be advised that one affidavit should be filled out for each association and/or league member that is performing the background checks. Hard copies of the signed and dated affidavits performed at the association level should be forwarded to the appropriate league, and each league shall then forward all league and association affidavits directly to the National Office.
