Instructions for Registering as an ABYSA Recreation Volunteer Coach

Who must register?
Coaches (Recreation, First Pillar, Academy, Challenge, Classic & Camp), Team Officials (Managers, Treasurers), Registrars, Board Members and Staff.

I registered last year; do I have to register again this year?
Yes, you must register every year.  The soccer calendar year runs fall to spring.  In the spring we finish the calendar year so in the fall all coaches must register or re-register with NCYSA Risk Management for the next calendar year.

Is there a Deadline?
Yes, everyone must be approved by risk management before they can work with any children in our program. Specifically the following deadlines are in effect for these divisions:

• Camp Staff – June 3rd
• All ABYSA/HFC Full & Part-time Coaching Staff – June 10th
• Classic Managers – June 10th
• Challenge Volunteer Coaches – July 10th
• Challenge Managers – July 10th
• Recreation Coaches – August 1st

What happens if I don’t register?
You are not able to participate OR be rostered with your team until you have been approved by NCYSA Risk Management.  In addition, for classic & challenge team officials (coaches and managers) all paperwork for your teams will be held up at the state office until you have been approved by risk management.  This means that your team may not have its cards back in time for a pre-season tournament.
