Screening Requirements
Each member association is responsible for the following screening requirements. All individuals requiring SafeSport training must be checked against the following databases:
-
National Sex Offender Registry — Check at nsopw.gov
-
U.S. Soccer Risk Management List — U.S. Soccer has adjusted the security requirements for the risk management list going forward. Rather than using a shared link, individuals who need access to the list will be added as individual contributors via their email address. Please reach out to Sophia (smiller@ussoccer.org) and Bria (bduvall@ussoccer.org) with the names and email addresses of any individual(s) from your organization who need access to the list.
