COACH REGISTRATION

Thank you for volunteering to coach with Redding Youth Soccer League. There are no registration fees to coach — just a few requirements to complete before you can take the field.

Before You Coach

FIVE REQUIREMENTS

Coaching youth soccer is one of the most fulfilling experiences you can have. To keep our players safe, every Rec coach must complete the five items below before stepping on the field.

01

Log Into GotSport

Log into the GotSport account you created when registering, then open your Dashboard. Every requirement below is completed from that screen.

02

SafeSport Certification

Complete the SafeSport certification course and upload proof of completion to your GotSport account.

03

National Background Check

Pass a National Background check. Background checks can take up to 2–3 weeks to be approved — without this you will not be allowed to coach.

04

Disqualification Review

Pass a Disqualification-Suspension Review by completing the self-certification form in GotSport.

05

Fingerprinting (State of CA)

Get fingerprinted for the State of California. Download the Accu-Print form on this page, then visit Accu-Print on Bechelli Lane in Redding.

Background checks can take up to 2–3 weeks to be approved.

Without an approved background check you will not be allowed to coach — start early.
