BYSA operates under the umbrella of the New York State West Youth Soccer Association (NYSWYSA). In keeping with NYSWYSA standards, all volunteers who work on field with BYSA players must successfully complete the following:

• Concussion Safety Training
• SafeSport Abuse Prevention Training

• A Background Check

This process is mandated, and managed, by the New York State West Youth Soccer Association (NYSWYSA). BYSA does not directly oversee or control this process but complies with the mandate to have all BYSA volunteers complete the process.

When these items are complete, the volunteer will be notified via email that the screening is complete and if the result is "CLEAR", a risk management pass will be issued.

NYSWYSA charges a fee for this service, which is absorbed by BYSA through player registration fees. Each volunteer will receive a coupon code to apply at the end of the screening process that nullifies the fee. If you require a code, please email your full name and affiliated team number (i.e., U6-09) to [email protected] and risk @bvillesoccer.com.

This document is intended to help volunteers complete the screening process. Please allow 2-3 hours to complete the entire process.
