CRIMINAL & CHILD ABUSE






Any adult coaching, or wanting to coach, for Norwood Athletic Club, is REQUIRED BY LAW  to complete and pass TWO background checks. They are the PA State Police Criminal Background Check AND The PA Child Welfare Information Solution (CWIS) Check for a Child Abuse clearance.



Every coach, assistant coach, team parent, etc., must create an account for each of these background checks and apply.

Upon approval/verification you must submit VIA EMAIL to Norwood Athletic Club a DIGITIAL ADOBE PDF copy of the approval form to [email protected].

You MUST Rename the Adobe PDF FILE AS YOUR NAME!
Any submission not named with YOUR NAME will not be filed!!!

These approvals will be collected by an NAC Background Check Registrar where they will be filed with the Club.

These verifications are FREE and good for FIVE (5) YEARS!


Volunteers who have not been cleared through these checks are NOT PERMITTED on the field/gym for games, practices, etc until he/she has applied and passed.
