SafeSport Mandatory Training
SafeSport Act Mandatory Training (Effective January 1, 2022)
The 2017 SafeSport Act has expanded Mandated Reporters to include adults authorized to interact with children. Due to this expansion, that includes AYSO and it requires training on child abuse and mandated reporting.
Effective, January 1, 2022, U.S. Soccer will no longer allow equivalent training* and has mandated SafeSport training.
What does this mean for AYSO?
AYSO will comply with the federal SafeSport training requirement and we will integrate with the U.S. Soccer Education and Learning Center as well as their Player Health and Safety Courses.
The training is the full course in the first year, which is 90 minutes, and repeated every three years, followed by annual updates in the in-between years, which are 30 minutes.
How will it work?

Notes
- To ensure your SafeSport completion is updated in the Association Platform, please make sure the following fields match your Registration profile:
- Full legal name (Middle name is not used in the match but can be included in both systems.)
- DOB
- email
- You DO NOT need to upload your certificate. The system will update approximately 45 minutes after completion.
- If you navigate directly to the Center for SafeSport without entering the Enrollment Key, your completion will not be transmitted to the Association Platform and your course may not be free. To correct this, you will need to call or email SafeSport to have your account affiliated with U.S. Soccer.
