Risk Management

Club Risk Management Criminal Record Check

As important as it is to provide a fun and enjoyable environment for soccer, ICSF and BC Soccer understands that children’s safety is our highest priority. Thus, as per BC Soccer Rule 22, all team officials and volunteers registered with ICFS must complete a Criminal Records Check.

ICSF provides access to doing a Criminal Records Check through CCRP (Criminal Records Review Program) or myBackcheck.com. This online system provides an alternative to making a trip to the police station. All members of BC Soccer can now complete a Criminal Record Check from the comfort of home and myBackCheck.com and will automatically send the results to ICSF once completed.

Once you have completed your application for coaching, managing or volunteering, the ICSF administration staff will provide you with a link to complete your myBackCheck.com criminal check.
