Steps to Becoming a Coach

Join us!

Thank you for agreeing to be a coach for the Elk Grove Soccer Fall Recreation season.

In a time when it’s becoming more difficult to find volunteers, we greatly appreciate your willingness to step up and help provide the youth of our community a chance to play soccer.

We offer some great incentives this season. We need you to get registered first. In the next 10 days, if all 4 coach requirements say “fulfilled” or “pending”, you have signed up for a coaching session, and your child is registered to play, you will get the following on June 14th:

Signup information for your practices
50% refund for the child you are coaching (head coaches only, and it must be confirmed by the your Age Group Coordinator (AGC) that you will be a head coach)

Here is the process for being cleared as a coach:

Use this GotSport club link to sign up:
Complete the 4 USYS requirements in your profile:

Intro to Safety
Background Check
SafeSport (refresher for returning coaches, full course for new ones).
Livescan – Fingerprint section
- Should say “fulfilled” for returning coaches. If it doesn’t say fulfilled, then you will need to get prints
- If you are new, there will be a form you get after completing this section. Print that out and take it to our designated fingerprinting location

You do NOT need to worry about the USClub or USSSA Sections.

If you have not completed the above requirements by June 11, you will not be able to sign up for a practice location until it’s completed. If you have completed the steps above, the refund for the child you are coaching, will be applied after practices begin.

Please send the registration and coach session links to your assistants, and encourage all your players to sign up before the fee increases on June 16th.

Thanks again for your efforts!
