MA Youth Soccer, in conjunction with and in compliance with USA Soccer, has adopted adult registration guidelines to comply with federal laws regarding adults working with children. To that end, all coaches in MA, including in MYSA, are required to be registered through MA Youth Soccer. Credential requirements include being CORI cleared, taking concussion training, and completing “Safe Sport” training. Safe Sport is about being a mandatory reporter of a suspected abused child. For more information you can refer to http://www.mayouthsoccer.org/assets/61/6/mass_youth_soccer__safe_soccer_-_adult_introduction_vfinal.pdf.

Here’s what all coaches and adults who will be working with the kids needs to do before their first practice:

Any adult working alongside kids in our program needs to click on this link, http://marblehead.mayouthsoccerconnect.org. This link will prompt you to 1) Create a profile, 2) authorize a CORI check, and 3)  sign off on multiple disclaimers and acknowledgements, 4) provide a link to watch the required “Safe Sport” training video, 5) present the link to watch the required “concussion training” video-based training, 6) ask for document uploads, including picture and certificates of completion for the aforementioned courses. Once every required element is met, the coach will be cleared and issued credentials.
