BACKGROUND CHECKS In order to be eligible to head coach in the Diamond Council of Columbia, individuals interested in coaching MUST complete a Criminal and Sex Offender background check. Background checks have become a standard practice in youth sports, as coach violence and sexual abuse and harassment have become more frequent (although still rare) occurrences. It is also Federal Law. We believe that every reasonable effort should be made to protect youth sports participants from adults in the program who have a history of unacceptable criminal activity. In an effort to streamline this process, Diamond Council of Columbia has partnered with USSSA and USA Baseball in order to conduct the background checks and provide training. All recreational team head coaches and Assistant coaches per team, are required to complete this assignment and have an accepted background check prior to the start of the season. There are no exceptions to this rule. As you would agree, the safety and welfare of our children is our top priority and concern. Please Contact League Director Paul Blythe with any questions or concerns at 573-499-9741, [email protected].
Diamond Council Equipment Shed is located at the Antimi Complex at Cosmo Park, between the Green and Purple fields. There is a parking lot located next to the shed. It can be used when picking up or dropping off equipment. It may not be used on game nights. It is reserved for umpires and concession staff.
