Clearances
To coach youth soccer, certain clearances are required to ensure the safety and well-being of all players. Coaches must complete a PA State Police background check, PA child abuse history check, and FBI Affidavit of Compliance, Concussion Training, EPYSA Risk Management, and SafeSport Training. All clearances are free to volunteers. These clearances must be submitted and completed through GotSport, our registration platform, before you can begin coaching. This process helps maintain a safe environment for all participants and ensures compliance with league regulations.
