REGISTERING ADULTS WITH BSYSC

Adult ID Card / KidSafe Card The adult ID Card and the Kidsafe Pass are one card known as the Adult Participation Pass (APP).

Each year the adult pass color will change.

Team assignment will not be included on the card; therefore, only one card is needed for individuals who coach or volunteer for more than one team.

This card confirms that the adult is properly registered for this seasonal year and has cleared the required background check. A recent photo should be affixed, and the card laminated.

Adults should have this card visible at all times when at the soccer fields, especially while on the team sideline.

At state sponsored events, no adult will be allowed on the sideline without an Adult Participation Pass.

All adult volunteers and employees (over the age of 17) must successfully complete a background check. (South Texas Youth Soccer Association Rule 3.15.1). It is essential that every adult over 17 years of age whether a coach, assistant coach, manager, trainer, team mom, officer, board member, or any other position, submit the required information and receive approval for background check and clearance. (Rule 3.15.2.1)

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

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.
