Coach/Volunteer Registration
For the purpose of registration and background checks, "coaches" are considered head coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, and any association volunteer.
Coach registrations are valid June 1st through May 31st. If you coach in the fall, you DO NOT need to re-register for spring. SafeSport is completed annually, so all coaches must register AFTER 5/31 for the current upcoming soccer year. First time coaches will complete an in-depth course. Returners will complete a refresher each fall for a total of 3 refreshers and then take the full course again.
IMPORTANT: Registration is 3 STEPS: Registration, Background Check, and SafeSport (Heads Up is optional).
Please use legal names. Names on coach accounts, background checks, and SafeSport accounts MUST match.
Please read general INSTRUCTIONS here. This is important! READ to the end.

Please note, upon completion of SafeSport, the status may not update. If SafeSport still shows incomplete, go back to SafeSport details and use CHECK RECORDS button for an update. If there's still no change, UPLOAD YOUR CERTIFICATE INTO GOTSPORT by using the upload form option.
