All Volunteers
More basic information is currently available online at www.ayso.org and https://wiki.ayso.org/wiki/Category:Coach
Thank you for volunteering for AYSO soccer. All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer application on Sports Connect and submit the required PA Clearances. You will also have to complete some basic online training on AYSO's website that includes age specific coaching and concussion awareness.
If you've already done background checks, they are good for 60 months from the date of issue. Both the AYSO background check and Childline clearances are free for volunteers. FBI Fingerprint clearances do have a small fee.
Background Checks Information:
1) Sterling Background Check - access will be received by email after registering as a volunteer.
2) Childline Child Abuse Clearance - https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
3) FBI Fingerprint Clearance - https://www.identogo.com/
Note: Fingerprints are only required if you have not lived in PA for the last consecutive 10 years. Use Service Code 1KG6ZJ
