From the Family Information screen, scroll down to the player you wish to volunteer for and either click on your name and confirm your volunteer registration information or, if you are new, click on the Volunteer button and fill in the necessary information.  Complete within 24 hours of volunteering.

1. CORI/Adult Registration - To complete your Adult Registration & CORI click the following link:  U.S. Sports Connect Adult Registration Portal.

2.  Take the two required courses - Create or login to your account in the US Soccer Learning Center using the same name and email you used to create your US Sports Connect account. 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. 
  • Complete the Concussion training (Introduction to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments Tab) - The U.S. Soccer Learning Center Intro to Safe and Healthy Playing Environment course training is only around 25 minutes long. This training is good for two years.
  • 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. 

RETURNING COACHES: Once you have completed your Adult Registration, you can login into your account U.S. Sports Connect Login Portal to view your training and CORI status.
