Coaches

Coaching Requirements

Thank you again for offering to volunteer as a coach this season!

As a Coach you need to start the new MYSA Safe Soccer procedures as soon as possible due to the additional training now required of all volunteers. You must complete these steps before you can receive Adult Credentials which are required for coaching at practices and games. 

"Mass Youth Soccer believes there is nothing is more important than the safety of our children. We understand these new requirements will necessitate additional steps for all involved, but our kids are worth the effort. Abuse in youth sports is more prevalent than most of us think – and it can happen in any town. We all need to “go the extra mile” to ensure our kids can enjoy the game in a healthy and non-threatening environment."  

To make complying with these new requirements as easy as possible, Mass Youth Soccer has selected US Soccer Connect from Stack Sports as our new state-of-the-art Membership Management Service (MMS). Our member organizations will use the “Club Connect” component as the one-stop-shop for adult registrations, background checks, training program certifications, and player registration uploads. Stack Sports/US Club Connect has provided each town with its own registration website.
