The American Legion is implementing mandatory risk management policies beginning in 2013 for its national youth programs that include background screening procedures and policies for the enhanced protection of The American Legion and its youth program participants. As the exclusive background screening provider chosen by The American Legion, Protect Youth Sports will conduct annual background checks for the national organization including all staff and volunteers selected to staff national baseball tournaments and contests conducted at the national level. All coaches, managers, and volunteer staff of junior and senior American Legion Baseball teams are also mandated to implement risk management procedures that include conducting background checks through Protect Youth Sports. All departments of The American Legion are strongly urged and encouraged to establish background screening procedures and policies similar to those of the National Organization for staff and volunteers supporting youth programs conducted within their departments.
