Doing this will link the two accounts. Once you have created your account, navigate to the Safeguarding menu button. The top two options are the ones you will use to complete the trainings.
Complete the Safesport training - U.S. Center for SafeSport required training starts with a 90+ minute Year 1 core initial training which is followed in Year 2, Year 3, or Year 4 by shorter, 30 minute Refresher courses before starting over with the core training in Year 5. You can stop and resume if necessary.

Once you are done with the training, you can log back into your US Sports Connect account and you should see a check mark next to both courses.
