Effective for the 2021/22 seasonal year, there are new “Adult Athlete” Safe Soccer national requirements that all members of U.S. Soccer must implement by January 1, 2022. Immediate action is required by all WYSA clubs to comply with the national Safe Soccer requirement. (Please refer to the Adult Athlete and Club Administrator instructions below).
“Adult Athletes” are athletes who are 18 years of age or older who have regular contact participating on teams with minor athletes (this includes, but is not limited to tryouts, training, scrimmages, games, etc.). Adult Athletes must complete a background check (valid every two years) as well as the annual SafeSport training.
Once a player turns 18 years old during the seasonal year, he/she has 45 days to complete the Adult Athlete requirements.
