REQUIREMENTS (FOR TEAMS WITH MINORS)

If your team roster includes any players under the age of 18 (minors), the following requirements apply:

— Requirement: All rostered staff members and players must complete a league-approved Background Check and Phase I of Safe Soccer Clearance (includes SafeSport).

— Compliance: You will not be added to an official roster until you have both a passed background check and current SafeSport certification.

— Processing Time: The background check process takes 7–14 business days.

— Fees: There is a nominal fee for the required background check. There is no cost ($0.00) to complete the Safe Soccer Phase 1 training.
