Racquetball Canada understands that screening personnel and volunteers is a vital part of providing a safe sporting environment and has become a common practice among sport organizations that provide programs and services to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Racquetball Canada\u2019s Screening Policy<\/strong><\/a><\/em> applies to all individuals whose position is one of trust or authority which may relate to, at a minimum, finances, supervision of Vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Racquetball Canada will require those in certain positions to complete background screening. This is determined by the risk of harm the position poses to Racquetball Canada and its participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
