In an effort to protect the youth participants and raise standards at El Paso County Sportspark, every coach, umpire, scorekeeper, and other team volunteer (any individual who will be involved with a youth team as designated by the head coach) will be required to pass a background check. There is a $40 charge and the background check is good for 2 years. Payment must be in cash, money order, credit card or cashier’s check. Forms are in the office or on the El Paso County Sportspark website (www.epcounty.com/sportspark). We will only accept a background check from the County of El Paso.      No other background check's will be honored. If you currently have a City Yellow ID coaching card with a valid date, we will accept this, as well. However, when it expires, we encourage you to have the background check processed with the Sportspark. Anyone in the dugout MUST get a background check. There are no exemptions or exceptions. All coach's MUST wear their coaching ID's at ALL times. No exceptions. You must have the physical ID on hand. Pictures or copies of the ID's will not be accepted during game time(s). Umpires will be checking thoroughly throughout game(s). If you do not have your coach's ID during game time, you will be asked to exit the dugout or you will be removed from the field.  Coaches will not be allowed to coach the first game if they do not have a valid coaching ID card. No exceptions.
