COMMUNITY SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS <br /> <br />The city recognizes community sports organizations that provide athletic leagues for youth and <br />adults. These organizations are authorized to use city facilities to provide team sports for Elk River <br />residents and are responsible for managing their programs in accordance within the policies and <br />guidelines outlined in this manual. <br /> <br />In order to be recognized by the city and to be eligible to participate in the field allocation process, <br />organizations must meet the following criteria: <br /> <br />1. The organization must follow the “National Standards for Youth Sports” as endorsed by <br />the city (Exhibit A). <br /> <br />2. All coaches in the organization must attend a training and certification clinic acceptable to <br />the city. <br /> <br />3. The organization must require all coaches to complete a criminal background check that <br />complies with the city background screening policy. The city policy has been developed <br />giving consideration to the variety of laws applicable to background screening and the <br />guidelines and standards of the National Recreation and Park Association's Commission <br />and Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies standards.
