Thank you so much coach for giving your time!
We deeply appreciate our coaches and volunteers for their unwavering dedication and commitment in investing their time. Whether you are embarking on your coaching journey for the first time or are a seasoned returning coach, it is essential for all coaches and volunteers to fulfill the four mandatory risk management requirements for the current seasonal year. The only requirement that can carry over if you coached or volunteered the year prior is the Livescan. All other prerequisites must be completed annually.
To assist in this process, Cal North Soccer has provided step-by-step guides for each requirement, designed to facilitate a smoother clearance process and get you onto the field quicker!
Please begin these requirements on June 1st to be eligible for the 24/25 season.
