background screening
USA Curling has implemented a screening program through the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI) in order to prevent known offenders from being placed in a position of authority in events or programs sponsored by the organization.
Annual background checks are required of individuals that USA Curling formally authorizes, approves, or appoints to a position of authority over, or to have frequent contact with, athletes. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following individuals:
All coaches, including those at USA Curling events, championships, and playdowns leading to championship events
All officials serving in the capacity of chief umpire or deputy chief umpire at a USA Curling championship or other event, including all active Level III apprentices
The Head Ice Technician at a USA Curling championship or event
The chair of the organizing committee for the USA Curling Junior National Championship;
All course conductors for USA Curling Sport Education classes
All volunteers at junior camps or any other junior program receiving financial or administrative support from USA Curling
All USA Curling employees, including National Team staff, and members of the Board
All non-athletes who are authorized by USA Curling to reside, train, or work at an Olympic Training Center
