Required Trainings:
Team Managers are required to complete all mandatory trainings before the season starts. These training requirements are in place to prioritize the safety and well-being of our players. Team Managers must complete these steps on time to be eligible to manage their team(s).
MYSA Background Check:
MYSA and SSA require coaches to complete a background check annually. Click here for instructions on how to complete the background check. Once submitted, SSA will be notified automatically, and no further action is needed.
Safe Sport Act Training:
Federal Law and MYSA Policy require that all coaches complete SafeSport Training. SafeSport training begins with a 90-minute initial course, followed by an annual 30-minute refresher course. This training must be completed each year. After three years of refresher courses, coaches will be required to retake the full 90-minute training. The certificate of completion should be uploaded to your MYSA SportsConnect account under the certificates tab.
