    can a convicted felon pass a background check for US Soccer

    I googled a “coach” of a rival club and I am seeing a felony drug dealing conviction from early 2000’s. Guy did 18 months in federal prison. He recently was sued for $50 million in a stolen identity civil lawsuit. That case was thrown out. Does the background check have a statute of limitations on old offenses?

      a background check is just what it is, "a check", a summary if you will.
      it is not a recommendation if the person should be hired or not.

      It is up to the person reviewing the background check if they are to hire the person or not.

        Wow you're a loser. Why do you care unless you intended to out the guy and slam the club?

          Awhile back I had a boss who did time in prison for drugs. Great boss, created a very successful business all on his own. Is 15+ years enough time for a person to be forgiven and turn their lives around? As you said it's up to the hiring company to decide - plus I think sports clubs are and should be more concerned about any crimes involving children, spousal abuse, anger issues etc.

                In theory every adult associated with the club in any coaching, training or administrative position should go through risk management with whatever governing body that they are part of (USYSA, US Club, ASO, etc).

                However, many clubs don't bother following that rule for people not actually standing on the coaches sideline during a game. Does this coach just train or does he coach during league games?

                  its not a theory. you can not get a coaches pass from the governing body (USYSA, US Club, ASO, etc) without getting a back ground check and/or going through risk management . This is the same for every sport.

                    That's not what I was saying. What I was saying is that a number of coaches, trainers and administrators never bother getting coaches passes because they never coach actual games. The "in theory" part is that everybody is supposed to go through risk management regardless of whether or not they coach actual games.

                      You are correct. A trainer that does not having a coaching pass does not need to do a background check. If you are on the sideline with the team you need a pass

                          The referee checks the coaches pass before the start of each game (along with the players pass)...its a requirement, no pass, no coaching on the sideline.

                          (maybe perhaps some refs do not enforce it, but its the rule).

                            anyone off the street can be called a "trainer". however, if you want to be licensed as an official trainer/coach through US Soccer. you need a back ground check and go through risk management.

                            Without a valid coaching pass, the referee has every right to call a forfeit for the other team.

                              Well, they actually are supposed to have a background check. But most clubs choose not to enforce that.
