Risk Management

Given the importance of protecting youth soccer players, US Club Soccer adopted a Risk Management Program when it began. Coaches and administrators who are required to register annually shall in addition complete and submit for review a Risk Assessment Form. A coach or manager will not receive a pass card until the form is reviewed and approved.

US Club Soccer’s Risk Management Policies can be found in the following document taken from the US Club Soccer website: Risk Management Policies.

At the USSF Annual General Meeting in March, 2005, a USSF Risk Task Force, on which the US Club Soccer Executive Director was a member, made certain recommendations that are now USSF requirements.

Bylaw 212-All USSF member organizations are required to have a Risk Management Program.

Policy 212-Any actions under the program must be reported to the USSF with 10 business days.

Policy 601-10-Any person disqualified under a member’s risk management program is automatically disqualified from all other USSF members, unless and until the second member reviews the conduct and determines it is not in violation of its own risk management policies.
