Coaching Requirments

All CMYSA coaches have several steps that they must complete before they begin coaching their first practice.  Please remember that the purpose of these training is to ensure the safety of our most precious resources, our players! There is no room for negotiation around these requirements.  If a coach delays in completing these steps they will not be able to begin working with their players.


Here are the items that every coach must complete


  • MYSA Background Check 
  • Safe Sport Act Training 
  • Concussion Training 
  • Know MYSA Soccer Rules
  • Attend CMYSA Coaches' Meeting
