A SportsEngine, Inc. company

We’re a member of the SportsEngine, Inc. family of Sport Relationship Management products for coaches, parents, athletes, youth sports associations, and national governing bodies. 

Their goal is to create a more rewarding sport experience for players, coaches, and administrators through products and services that get more kids involved in sports while connecting teams and keeping athletes safe.

While our services are fully integrated with the SportsEngine platform, we remain an independently-operated company to ensure data privacy and security.

The importance of safety programs and background checks

Over the last decade, organizations offering child-focused programs have experienced increased safety requirements. Those that do not comply with today’s safety mandates not only put children at risk but also their community at large. Organizations must screen anyone that comes into contact with children on their behalf, including:

- Coaches
- Volunteers
- Seasonal staff
- Full & part-time employees

How we compare to other screening providers

No other background screening provider digs deeper or works harder to protect today’s youth. 

Our background checks are unmatched, both in terms of the quality of support that we provide and the depth that our screenings reach to uncover pivotal information others may miss. 

When it comes to the safety of children, we believe that choosing a discount over quality isn’t a risk worth taking.

NCSI has made running background checks very simple and inexpensive. Just enter the client’s information online and in a couple of days, you are notified via email that the background check is completed. If there is a question about a background check, they are there to answer your questions and get the situation resolved. We run background checks for all volunteers and potential employees and this is the easiest part of our on-boarding process.

Brad Skof - Foss Park District, IL

The Oswegoland Park District has been using NCSI for all employee and volunteer background screenings since 2013. We submit approximately 450-500 new screening requests each year and NCSI has never failed to provide us with a timely and user-friendly experience. The NCSI team have always made themselves accessible for any problem-solving issues requiring assistance. We have been extremely pleased with the service and the accountability NCSI provides.
