All team volunteers (Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, Team Treasurer, Team Trainer) that work directly with the players or have access to player information are required annually to:
- Register with HSA Select
- Complete Federal/State required training certifications
- Pass a background check
Overview
- Create a HSA Select account and register as a volunteer coach/manager/treasurer (HSA Select Website - My Account - Volunteer) in your desired age group
- Create a US Soccer Learning Center account
- Complete SafeSport training (or confirm training is current)
- Complete Introduction to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments (Concussion & SCA) training (or confirm training is current)
- Request Risk Management Application (RMA)
Detailed steps to complete the training and request a RMA are available with this download: https://washingtonyouthsoccer.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/SportsConnect_Club-9.16.22.pdf
IMPORTANT
All RMAs expire each year on 4/30. RMA renewals before 4/1 will not roll into the current season. You can confirm expiration/status in My Account - Volunteer in your HSA Select account.
Synchronization between accounts/websites is based on the following:
- Full legal first and last name. Do not use nicknames or shortened names
- Date of Birth
- Email address
Please ensure all three elements are identical for your HSA Select and US Soccer Learning Center accounts. Any discrepancies will delay the synchronization and the RMA process. This will then delay roster releases and team page activation.
