Bay State Baseball CORI Information


CORI your Coaches is a Requirement for Bay State Baseball

Massachusetts law M.G.L. c. 71, ยง 38R requires all organizations to conduct criminal background checks on current and prospective employees and volunteers who may have direct and unmonitored contact with children. As such, Bay State Baseball Tournament of Champions requires ALL teams to certify, as part their registration procedure, that all teams and town organizations perform Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) checks on their managers, coaches, scorekeepers and other adults who work with the players. Teams are not allowed to register for the league until they have certified that CORI checks have been performed. Teams are required to keep the results of CORI checks available for inspection by Bay State Baseball directors, to ensure compliance. CORI checking is a requirement of participation. There are no exceptions.
