Building a Safe Environment: Why Our Coach Background Checks & Requirements Matter When parents entrust us with their young athletes, our primary responsibility extends beyond teaching proper footwork, tactical awareness, and sportsmanship. Above all else, our top priority is player safety and wellbeing. To uphold the highest standard of protection on and off the field, our club strictly adheres to the coaching compliance standards established by U.S. Soccer (USSF) and US Club Soccer . Here is a look at why our background screening process is so critical and what goes into keeping our sidelines safe. 1. Prioritizing Athlete Safety Above All Else Youth sports should always be a sanctuary where players learn, grow, and build confidence free from harm. Implementing thorough background screenings ensures that every adult stepping onto the pitch as a coach, assistant, or team manager has been thoroughly vetted. It provides families with peace of mind, knowing their children are guided by trustworthy role models.  2. Complete Compliance with USSF & US Club Soccer Guidelines As a sanctioned club operating under USSF and US Club Soccer governance, compliance isn't optional—it is a mandatory pillar of our organization. Both governing bodies mandate that all staff and adult participants meet federal, U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), and organizational risk-management policies before receiving clearance to interact with youth players. 3. What Our Screening & Onboarding Process Includes Our coaches complete a multi-step vetting process prior to taking the field: Comprehensive Background Screening: Handled through approved national screening providers, this check searches criminal registries, sex offender registries, and official eligibility lists. Screenings are renewed every two years to maintain active status. SafeSport Certification: Coaches complete mandatory U.S. Center for SafeSport education covering abuse prevention, recognizing signs of misconduct, and understanding proper reporting procedures. Annual Safety Training: Includes safety modules through platforms like the U.S. Soccer Learning Center or GotSport, keeping coaches up-to-date on modern athlete-protection protocols. A Shared Commitment to Our Soccer Community While completing background checks and annual training requires time and dedication from our coaching staff, it is a non-negotiable step in maintaining a culture of safety, trust, and accountability. We are incredibly grateful to our coaches for their commitment to these standard procedures, and to our soccer families for placing their trust in us every season.
