If yes, you're going to make it substantially difficult for some teams to operate. A lot of good intentioned people I know aren't going to go through the trouble for a handful of afternoons.

I understand what you mean in the way that the whole process could get complicated, and obviously that means that there would need to be set limits of need for a criminal record check. However, I feel for parents that as long as the parent is transporting multiple kids, or volunteering their time with multiple kids then it should be quite safe. However, any season long mentors who will consistently be with the team should have a criminal record check done at the beginning of the season.
