Team coaches, assistant coaches and team managers must register and complete background checks and SafeSport certification once per soccer year between June 1st and May 31st. If you coach in the fall, you DO NOT need to re-register for spring.
Office staff and other association volunteers including board members and general volunteers must also complete background checks and SafeSport certification annually. General volunteers should register as a "coach" in order to create a GotSport account and access the required certifications.
For SafeSport, first time coaches will complete an in-depth course. Returners will complete a refresher each year for a total of 3 refreshers and then take the full course again.
