Putting YOUTH Back Into FOOTBALL

 

"Promoting Safety, Protecting Children"
A Revolutionary Approach to Youth Safety

Due to the rise in highly publicized sexual molestation cases of youth by coaches and mentors and the enormous monetary awards and settlements, the insurance industry is withdrawing from providing coverage for this risk, thereby leaving youth programs exposed to catastrophic financial consequences which could eliminate youth programs and bankrupt the industry.

What can be more important than

the protection of our children

for a safer, more wholesome society?

Criterion Offenses (Excerpt from the Recommended Guidelines© established by NCYS)

“Convictions for the five following crimes will prompt a determination that an applicant ‘does not meet’ the criteria to serve a youth-serving organization:

  • R1. Any felony (any crime punishable by confinement greater than one year)

    a. Defined on the basis of exposure for the offense for which the defendant was convicted, pled guilty or pled nolo contendere. If pled down, then the crime to which the defendant ultimately pled.

    b. Defined as all crimes punishable by greater than one year in jail or prison, regardless of how characterized by jurisdiction. If range, alternate sentencing, or indeterminate sentencing, outer range > one year.

  • R2. Any lesser crime involving force or threat of force against a person
  • R3. Any lesser crime in which sexual relations is an element, including “victimless” crimes of a sexual nature (including pornography)
  • R4. Any lesser crime involving controlled substances (not paraphernalia or alcohol)
  • R5. Any lesser crime involving cruelty to animals”
