Coach Registration

Recreation Coach Registration

For coaches, please register on the same site as the player but use Coach/Volunteer registration. PSC Recreational coaches will have to do fingerprinting thru LiveScan. Please cross out the existing code in your printed copy and write in the new contract code “BCYW”.
LiveScan Form

To do fingerprinting, it is essential that coaches bring their driver’s license (or another form of government issued identification) to fingerprinting together with the attached form properly filled out. Where the form asks for the District, League and Club number you must use these numbers for your fingerprinting results to be routed properly:
District = 04 League = 14 Club = 06
Coaches go to one of these sites. You do not get charged and CapitalLive can track these transactions.

US Club Soccer Background Screening Application
Beyond a variety of national sources, our level of screening generally includes a direct county/state of residence criminal record search for all counties in which an individual has lived within the past seven years, regardless of whether any “hits” appear on the national database searches.

Registration: Registration is not complete until the staff passcard/rec registration request (#4 below) has been approved by US Club Soccer.

Submit staff passcard or rec registration request. In most cases, this step is completed by the club/organization’s registrar on behalf of the individual coach or staff member. This step may be completed before the Player Health and Safety Initiatives listed above. Background screening results and an eligibility determination for “flagged” applicants will not be considered until a passcard/registration request is made for that person.
