Health & Safety Training
The 2017 SafeSport Act expanded Mandated Reporters to include adults authorized to interact with children. This expansion includes AYSO and requires annual training on child abuse and mandated reporting. Effective, January 1, 2022, U.S. Soccer will no longer allow equivalent training and has mandated annual SafeSport training. Details can be found here.
Additionally, California AB 506 requires California volunteers who have direct contact with children 16 hours a month or 32 hours per year, which applies to most coaches, referees, team parents, and board members who spend 2 or more hours on the field weekly, to have a one-time background check as approved by the California Department of Justice. This background check is known as LiveScan. Details can be found here.
