completing safesport

There are two options to complete SafeSport. We highly recommend using the U.S. Soccer Learning Center to complete your SafeSport and Concussion requirements. This site sends users reminders to renew their requirements when they are expiring.

U.S. Soccer Learning Center: If you have never completed the SafeSport training before or if you have an existing U.S. Soccer Learning Center account you will select this option. The course can be accessed HERE, or by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://learning.ussoccer.com/safe-soccer

Login or create a new account - complete the "SafeSport Course". Once completed the course will update via an API to your Sports Connect profile and nothing further will be needed.

US Center for SafeSport If you have completed a SafeSport course in the past you will need to access your account with SafeSport. Go to your SafeSport account HERE, or by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://safesporttrained.org/#/public-dashboard. Once completed the course will update via an API and nothing further will be needed.

If you want to download your SafeSport certificate and create a U.S. Soccer account follow the directions HERE on how to add your SafeSport certificate to your profile. Doing this going forward you will receive notices when you are expiring and be able to renew through U.S. Soccer.

Note: Either option will verify via an API, you won't need to download your certificate and upload to your account.
