Chew On This Basketball adheres to strict California Assembly Bill 506 child safety standards. We protect our student-athletes and our volunteers through mandatory state compliance:
1. Free Live Scan Clearance
Every regular volunteer completes a California Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI fingerprint background check. Chew On This pays 100% of your Live Scan fee.
2. The "Rule of Two"
Zero isolated 1-on-1 contact with minors. Two background-checked adults must be present in all gym areas, team vans, and study halls at all times.
3. Mandated Reporter Training
Volunteers complete a quick 45-minute online youth protection module provided free via the California Office of Child Abuse Prevention portal.
We provide signed verification letters for high school graduation requirements (San Mateo Union High School District, Foster City, Peninsula schools), college honor societies, and corporate volunteer match programs (Benevity, Meta, Google, Gilead).
Takes less than 2 minutes. Coach Jack Chew will personally review your application and send your free onboarding packet.
Thank you for stepping up for San Mateo County youth. Coach Jack Chew and our volunteer coordinator will contact you within 24 hours with your Live Scan code and next steps.
