  1. If you have submitted your Volunteer Form (Step 1) you should receive an email from Sterling Volunteers to submit your background check. 
     Please Note:  Background checks are good for one full year. If you are a returning volunteer your previous background check may still be         valid.  You should receive an email 30 days before your background check expires let you know it is time to submit for the new year. 

  2. NEW as of January 1, 2022 - California AB 506 requires Live Scan Printing for all adult administrators, employees, and volunteers.
     Please Note:  The Live Scan background check only needs to be completed once, as long as the volunteer registers/returns each year.        
     Volunteers who do not register for two to three years will be required to redo the Live Scan process.  Please contact [email protected]

 Step 3: Complete the Required Training 
All volunteers must have completed a Safe Haven and CDC Concussion Awareness course at our new online training at:    www.aysou.org  (You will log into the AYSOU training site with your same username and password as your Sports Connect account). * You must complete your volunteer form, Safe Haven and CDC Concussion Awareness courses before signing up for any additional training courses.

How does AYSO protect its volunteers and athletes?  

Safe Haven™
 
                                            
Safe Haven is a program designed to address a growing need for child and volunteer protection. There are four elements in the Safe Haven™ intervention cycle: Create Policies, Screen Volunteers, Train Volunteers, and Promote Education and Awareness. These are intended to stop child abuse and its agents before they get into the program.  In AYSO, children play in a friendly and safe environment.

The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 
This law grants immunity from certain types of prosecution for volunteers who meet its requirements. In order to receive full protection under the law, AYSO volunteers need must: 1. be properly trained and certified; 2. be performing duties as laid out in a position description; 3. act within the scope of AYSO's Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines.

Thank you for volunteering for AYSO Region 39.  Feel free to contact our Region 39 Child and Volunteer Protection Advocate with any questions or assistance you may need at [email protected]
