Risk Management for Coaches/Admins/Volunteers


RISK MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR COACHES, ADMINS, AND VOLUNTEERS (RM, SS, CC, CARDIAC) are all on your GotSport account once your register to help your club.

You must register with your club’s admin program each seasonal year (fall/spring) so that your information is current. Please contact your club to get their registration link for admins. Once registered you can go to your dashboard to see the requirements that you need to finish. Each requirement can be completed by clicking on View/Submit out to the right of the course/form. These requirements must have been taken so that they will get you through the seasonal year from August to July. Courses taken in June will get you through to July with the following number of years. Courses taken after June will have shortened expiration due to all courses expiring on July 31.

Background Checks – two years

Cardiac Arrest – two years

Concussion (Heads Up) – two years

SafeSport – one year
*SafeSport Trained – U.S.S.F – also referred to as “Core” training (first year)
Set aside 90 min for this initial course.

*SafeSport Refresher 1 (year 2)

*SafeSport Refresher 2 (year 3)

*SafeSport Refresher 3 (year 4 then start over with Core)

It can be time consuming; we realize that, and our intent is not to place more on you or punish anyone, but to
do whatever we can to keep our kids safe. These are policies and procedures set forth by US Soccer, USYS
and USSF, which we support and must follow. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please contact Kristi Acord (kristi@wvsoccer.net) with any questions you may have regarding your Risk Management.

For help with any other club related registration issues, contact your Club registrar or Beth Noss, at  beth@wvsoccer.net
