(Risk Management)

US Youth Soccer, and the West Virginia Soccer Association (WVSA) requires all coaches and assistant coaches to participate in the Risk Management program.

 

The WVSA Risk Management

program is designed to foster safe circumstances for every person, and especially every child, who participates in a US Youth soccer affiliated activity. It is a program to inform all WVSA personnel and WVSA members concerning the risks associated with our youth soccer programs, and includes a criminal background check for violent crimes or crimes against children.

 

The application is through a secure online website. The submitted form will be kept in strict confidentiality by WVSA or each of its respective member clubs and will be updated annually. In the case of MYSA applications, only the MYSA Risk Management Coordinator and the WVSA Risk Management Coordinator have access to sensitive information.

 

You are allowed to submit one Risk Management application each year. If you have already done so in the spring, you will still need to add additional positions (another club, or another position in your club such as coach for the Fall 2009 season) to your submitted application.
