All coaches, assistant coaches, managers, and anyone working with players must be sure the following is complete:
1. SafeSport Training
2. Intro to Safety (Concussion and Sudden Cardiac Arrest Certification)
3. RMA (Background check) - All returning coaches have an account with WYS Sports Connect. If you cannot access your account, you may not have a username, but email associated account. Please email michelle.beard@columbiapremier.com your first name, last name, and date of birth to give you this information if you have trouble logging in.
Before you can complete your RMA, you have to complete your certifications in US Soccer Learning Center. There are a lot of requirements, and it can be confusing. Please copy and paste the link below for instructions on how to complete the requirements.

Your name, DOB, and email address must match both the US Soccer Learning Center and Sports Connect (where you will complete your RMA/background check). Your certificates will not sync if they do not match and you will not be able to complete the background check.
All coaches, trainers, managers, team moms, volunteers must complete a new RMA for the 2023 Fall season. Only those that did new RMA registrations February 1st, 2023 or later are considered cleared for the fall.
