The Mariemont Recreation is committed to the safety of our athletes.  In compliance with the National Center for Youth Sports and our Insurance Carrier all Coaches for the Mariemont Recreation Association will complete a national background screen through NCSI.  NCSI will have the final determination of all applicants; applications will not be reviewed on an individual basis. 

Privacy as well as the safety of our players is our number one concern.  Only The MRA President, MRA Treasurer and the President of each sport will be able to access the reports.  Social Security Numbers & other personal information will not be available to the committee.
