SAFESPORT
SafeSport is listed as a requirement in GotSport, but the certificate will actually need to be uploaded into Athlete One/TGS. U.S. Club Soccer rules say that SafeSport certificates must be dated after June 1, 2024, so even if you are on a different timeline with your existing SafeSport, you will need to renew it.
One SafeSport Trained Core or Refresher course is required each year, and it should be the next course in the four-year cycle of:
- SafeSport Trained – U.S. Soccer Federation, which is also referred to as “Core” training
- SafeSport Refresher 1
- SafeSport Refresher 2
- SafeSport Refresher 3
- In year 5, start the cycle again with the Core Training
After the course is complete, download and save a copy of your certificate as a PDF. (You can also access your certificate within the "TRANSCRIPT" page of your SafeSport account.)
***MAKE SURE YOU SAVE A COPY OF YOUR SAFESPORT CERTIFICATE AS A PDF IN ORDER TO UPLOAD IT INTO TGS/ATHLETE ONE***
COACHES VOICE EDUCATION
Coaches Voice education is required for each coach in the technical area of the player sideline. Instructions will be communicated to those individuals separately.
