All coaches, optimist members and parent volunteers MUST have Level II background checks completed before the start of the upcoming season. No one is permitted to coach or volunteer without completing a background check. A separate notification will be sent out once the city has provided PLO with your badge. You will be required to provide a check made out to Pembroke Lakes Optimist (PLO) in the amount of $27.00 prior to receiving your badge. This fee and Level II background process is mandated by the City of Pembroke Pines.
