Background Screen/APS Training Policy - IMPORTANT!

Every JVA member and all adults listed on rosters at JVA insured events, must complete the JVA Background Screen and APS training. Clubs cannot submit rosters for JVA events until all adults on rosters have a verified background screen.

**If you are USAV screened, you still need to complete the JVA Background Screen with your USAV information in order to get onto a JVA roster. You will not have to pay anything nor will you have to take the APS training, but you do have to complete the form.
