Instructions for Registering with Risk Management
for the 2009 – 2010 Seasonal Year

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 starts in the fall and ends in the spring spring.  Beginning in May, all coaches must register or re-register with NCYSA Risk Management for the next calendar year.

I am a Recreation Coach who coached in the Fall Season, why do I need to register again?
If you’ve registered in the fall you need to add the Spring 2010 season to your profile or you will not show up as “eligible” in the ABYSA database. Go the Risk Management link and then you can click “I want to add another position” to my registration when entering the registration. Choose Spring 2010 and the age group you will be coaching.

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 for the Fall Season and February 15th for the Spring Season.

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.
