SAFESPORT TRAINING
Due to the Center for SafeSport’s transition to a new training platform called Absorb, the below instructions have been updated as of 12/8/2021.
This document assists you with registering as a new or returning coach or club administrator in completing your SafeSport training. This training is required of any head coach, assistant coach, team manager or board member to complete on a yearly basis. The first time that the course is taken is the full training that requires at least 90 minutes of your time. Each time thereafter is the refresher course which requires about 15 minutes of your time.
Your First Name, Last Name and Email MUST match exactly what is in U.S. Soccer Connect (Affinity) for your training certificate to load into the system. If you are coaching/board/parent information in Affinity says William, then that is what you want SafeSport to have as well – not Bill. If you are unsure how your information is entered into U.S. Soccer Connect, please reach out to your club registrar to assist you. If all 3 pieces of information are exactly the same, then SafeSport will load your updated certificate directly into U.S. Soccer Connect. As a back up, please download your completed certificate and have on hand just in case.
