To protect our youth members from risk and exposure to mistreatment and harm, Lakehill Soccer adheres to the policy set forth by BC Soccer Association to have those in a position of responsibility (or perceived responsibility) over a member aged 18 years or younger to complete and submit a Risk Management form annually.

Criminal Record Check for Lakehill Soccer

Directors, Coaches*, Assistant Coaches* and Managers for Divisions U5 to U18, as well as those of Senior teams who may be calling up players under the age of 19, are required to complete a Criminal Record Check.  Criminal Record Checks on file with the club are considered valid if they were performed within the last 3 years. (Date performed is less than 36 months from end of season).   *coaches or youth player volunteers under 19yrs. are not required to submit a CRC.

Criminal record check cover letter (pdf)

Take this letter, with two pieces of ID, to the police department in your municipality.  This is a cover letter to go with the criminal record check form, to be handed in at the police station. This letter informs the police who is requesting the check.  The record check takes roughly 10 days to process.  Pick up your records check in a sealed envelope. This sealed envelope needs to be handed in to our Policy Director.

BC Soccer is inforcing this requirement and coaches and volunteers may be prevented from interacting with youth until the Criminal Record Check has been returned to the club.

Reports can be dropped at: Braefoot Activity Centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I submit my teaching certificate or other professional certification that requires a CRC as an equivilant to a CRC?
   Unfortately no, we need to have a the original or copy of a currently valid CRC on file.  As the CRC is your property, you can ask your employer for a copy that you can submit to us or you can obtain a new CRC.
     
   
2. Can I look at the CRC prior to submitting it to Lakehill Soccer.
   Yes, the CRC is considered your property and you are entitled to look at it prior to submitting it for review.
     
   
3. Can I get my CRC back at the end of the year or when I need it for something else?
   Yes, however your CRC needs to be on file while you are active with the club (eg. currently coaching).  Normally the CRC we receive is kept on file until it is considered out of date at which time it can either be returned to the owner by owners request or securely destroyed and disposed of by the owners request.* If we don't hear from the owner, expired documents will be securely destroyed at a later date.
