RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
WYSA Risk Management Policy
Under this policy, any coach, assistant coach, team trainer, team manager, referee, club or district board member, WYSA administrator, WYSA Board of Directors member, independent contractor, or any other individual seeking affiliation with WYSA or WYSA Affiliated Clubs who has direct or indirect contact or influence on a youth player is required by WYSA to complete a Risk Management Disclosure, every two years through WYSA’s online risk management system. Each Club has a responsibility to ensure compliance across their organization.
SAFESPORT CERTIFICATION
- SafeSport certification is required for Risk Management approval
- SafeSport certification or refresher must be completed annually
- WYSA does not require completion of the full Safe Soccer course found in the U.S. Soccer Learning Center. We only require SafeSport, which is accessible within the Learning Center.
- To ensure automatic syncing to PlayMetrics, staff must use the same email address in both systems.
- Do not complete a background check in the Learning Center
- SafeSport Guide
RISK MANAGEMENT REGISTRATION PROCESS
Clubs will add staff members directly to the seasonal year in PlayMetrics. Once a staff member is added, any individual who needs to complete risk management requirements will automatically receive an email with instructions—no additional steps needed by the club at that point. Clubs are responsible for reviewing and verifying all staff in the system.
Please note: There is no longer a separate “registration” step after staff are added. Once a staff member is added and verified, their registration is complete.

STATE ISSUED PASS CARDS
Effective March 2023
WYSA will no longer be printing pass cards*. Members can get an electronic pass card through PlayMetrics. Please note, a photo upload in your PlayMetrics profile is required to allow download. Contact your club administrator for support.
WisRef has been advised, documentation published on Game Officials, and communicated to referees indicating that all games should be played, with or without the presence of a State Issued Pass Card (digital or physical).
Because Risk Management and Coach Licenses are managed in two separate databases (we are required to use US Soccer’s Digital Coaching Center), we no longer print license levels on State Issued Pass Cards. The State Issued Pass Card is intended to signify an approved background check and serves as that individual’s membership with WYSA.
