One task that’s always annoying but usually not covered with free league software is risk management or background checks.  Usually there’s a many applications and little time.  You probably worry that if they’re not quickly, you might miss a problem coach. It’s a difficult process to manage and track and just takes up more volunteer time. Despite all that, we all know it must be done and done right. What to do?

Most sports leagues, clubs or organizations want a software product that can support tracking of background checks or maybe even automate submission of a background check applications for an affordable fee. Free league software doesn’t do that as far as we can see.

TRUE STORY

Kay manually processed all of her background check applications for her organization on paper sending them a few at a time to her background check company for clearance.  She didn’t have a way to communicate or record who was “cleared” and who was “not cleared”, so no one really knew what the status was of the background check.  Bonzi helped Kay to setup a simple but effective background check management system so she could track the new applications that were submitted online, mark the volunteers cleared when their background checks were completed, and track expiration dates of those that needed a new background check application.  Bonzi is now working with Kay to setup her up with automatic background check processing significantly reducing her work load while keeping her system up-to-date with the latest clearances.  Everyone’s happy because the background checks are done fast and board members feel confident potential problems will be caught quickly.

Make sure to ask any provider how they handle background check tracking and if they support online background check applications.  Bonzi can do this; can your free league software or other alternatives?

If you’re having trouble managing background checks and want to solve that problem for your organization, give Bonzi a call.  We can help.
