Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club

Volunteer Registration Process

COACHES, ASSISTANT COACHES, TEAM MANAGERS, AND OTHER VOLUNTEERS

Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club is a volunteer organization and a member of the North County Youth Soccer Association, Washington State Youth Soccer, and US Youth Soccer. All of our Board Members and Coaches are volunteers and donate their time, energy, and passion to the Mukilteo Youth youth soccer community. Without people like you, this program can not function. While most volunteers come from the participant parent pool, anyone with a desire to promote good sportsmanship, life skills, and of course the development of soccer skills, is welcome and encouraged to join the program.

What? You think an in-depth knowledge of soccer and how to teach it to youth players is required. All that is needed is your passion! Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club has several opportunities for advancing your own skills including training (online and in person), coach mentors, online resources, access to professional coaches, and more.

REGISTRATION PROCESS SUMMARY

With the ever changing demands to protect children from all forms of abuse and unfavorable conditions, all US Youth Soccer volunteers are required to complete a national background check as well as complete a few online training courses. This process is known as a Risk Management Application (RMA). Once all of the steps (listed below) have been completed, a volunteer is ready to be accepted to participate in a role for the Club. Currently, a completed and valid RMA expires annually on April 30th, however the online training certificates are valid for multiple years.

Note: There is no guarantee a specific team (age or gender) is in need of a coach. Most available volunteer coaching needs are at the younger age groups.

STEP 5

WASHINGTON YOUTH SOCCER RMA - BACKGROUND CHECK

Do not start this step until at least May 1st. Currently, a completed and valid RMA expires annually on April 30th. If you already have an account you can login anytime and upload your certificates.

Washington Youth Soccer requires all volunteers to have a valid Risk Management Authorization obtained through a background check service they provide. (See the following link for information about this requirement: WYS RMA Info.) A new background check is required each season.

Volunteers are required to manually follow the process outlined by Washington Youth Soccer. The following links are instructions detailing the background check process.  

 Washington Youth Soccer Risk Management Instructions for Volunteers

To complete your volunteer registration, please follow the instructions above to run your background check and validate your RMA. During the process, don't forget to select Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club as your organization. If you need assistance with this process, you will need to find it through Washington Youth Soccer using the contact information in the above instructions.

STEP 6

ID VERIFICATION

All volunteers are now required to have their identification verified by a staff member of Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club. Recently, there have been an increasing number of stories in the news about volunteers who enter incorrect identification information when filling out a background check application to avoid being detected as someone who would not be eligible to work with children. Verifying identification provides confidence to all families participating with Mukilteo Youth Soccer Club that its volunteers match the identification information submitted for background checks.

Volunteer ID only needs to be verified once--registrations for subsequent seasons should not need verification as long as the same member account is used.

The easiest method of completing this step is to attend the coaches meetings that start off each season. If you are not able to attend those meetings, special arrangements will need to be made to meet with you and verify your identification.
