All Previous WSWA Chartered Clubs, 

Please read through entire e-mail - there is a lot of important information for Clubs processing this year.

This year, we have implemented renewing your Chartered Club online.  Everything will be done online and nothing is to be mailed in.  When you renew your charter, I will get an e-mail.  Once I approve everything, I will process the charter online and then it will go to the National office and Insurance Office.  After that, you will receive your insurance information via e-mail.

I will send a separate e-mail to all clubs with your username and password in case you lost, forgot or never had one.

The account will only be association with the person who was listed on the charter last.  If this needs to be a different person, I need to know so we can change it to the new person so they can get the new features when logging in.

Information for Event Sanctions will be sent shortly - the National office is still working out all the details for completing those online.

 

Also, this year a background screening process has been put in place in Washington State.  The screening will need to be completed every two years.

 

All coaches, officials, club administrators, board members, team washington staff and other volunteers who are 18 years of age or older are required to complete this process.

 

This means that whoever is listed on your club charter must have a background check submitted and approved prior to me approving the charter.  Attached is an e-mail that was sent to all Coaches a few days ago.

 

The cost of the background screening is $18.00

 

To start the background screening process, go to the following website:


http://www.tclogiq.com/usawrestling

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT WASHINGTON STATE WRESTLING ASSOCIATION or you will not show up on my list to get approval.

Once you complete all screens and submit the information, your background screening will show up on my list immediately.  It will go into a pending status until the screening company processes and then will change to an approved status.

 

Once this changes to an approved status, I can then manually process your club charter and then the rest of the process will occur and you should see your insurance within a few days.

The background checks take anywhere from 1-10 days to complete so you will want to start those now.

You will need to complete this background check even if you have had a prior one done through a school or another association.

If you get an approval e-mail back from the screening company and I have not processed your club charter within 2 days, e-mail me at: 
SherryBullard@comcast.net so I can look into why you may not be showing up on my list.  In most cases, is because Washington State Wrestling Association was not selected during the screening process and you are on another associations list.  This takes some time to get corrected, so please make sure you select Washington State Wrestling Association from the drop down list during the screening process.

Anyone who is in your mat room assisting wrestlers is considered a coach and it is the clubs responsibility to ensure that each one carry’s a valid coaches card and have completed their background checks.  It is a liability if you do not ensure all wrestlers and coaches in your practice room have a USA Card.

Coaches and Membership cards can be purchased online at the following link:

If you have any questions regarding USA Cards or the screening process, e-mail me at SherryBullard@comcast.net

You will also notice that you now have the ability to renew membership cards for your club members in bulk.  The cost of processing is cheaper than one at a time, but there is still a processing fee of 4.95 or 10% whichever is greater.  But now you have the ability to do more than one for those clubs who were renewing the member cards vs. having the parents renew them.

As for renewing your Club.  You will notice when you log into your account for your USA Card, there will be additional items on the left side of your screen.  See image below:
