REGISTERING ADULTS
WITH BSYSC

The adult ID Card and the KidSafe Pass are combined into one card known as the Adult Participation Pass (APP). This card confirms that the adult is properly registered for the current seasonal year and has cleared the required background check.

Note: At state-sponsored events, no adult will be allowed on the sideline without an Adult Participation Pass. When forming a team, one individual should be designated as the head coach. All others should be identified as an assistant, manager, trainer, or volunteer.

Effective immediately, to meet South Texas Youth Soccer Association’s Risk Management criteria, each club officer, staff member, board member, coach, and team manager/official over the age of 17 must complete the following three components (STYSA Rule 3.15.1 & 3.15.2.1):

• 01
  SafeSport Training Modules EVERY adult is considered a mandatory reporter. When you have a reasonable suspicion or belief that abuse is occurring or has occurred, you are legally required to report to authorities within 24 hours.
• 02
  CDC Concussion Awareness Training Required education on recognizing and responding to head trauma.
• 03
  Background Check Clearance Successful screening prior to receiving a KidSafe Adult Participation pass.

Registered coaches must hold a currently effective coaching license or certificate, or obtain one within one year of their initial registration as a coach (Rule 3.2.10).

Administrator Verification: To check risk management, go to the “State” tab then to “Coaches.” To see fully compliant coaches, filter by Risk Management Status “Approved” and set courses to “Completed” for “All Courses.” You may export this to an Excel spreadsheet.
