CYSA Adult Registration Requirement

ALL staff: Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and Trainers for Recreational, Camps, Comp, Select, and Almaden FC are required to complete and submit the online CYSA Team Official Registration and Risk Management Disclosure Form (1628) to CYSA every year, usually before the Fall season.  In addition, Team Managers who wish to have an Adult Pass for Comp and Select, or Team Managers who want the ability to sit on the player side of a game, or assist with games and/or practices, must also submit the online CYSA Risk Management form.  All Almaden FC Team Managers must submit this form. Adults who do not submit the CYSA form will not be added to the CYSA roster, will not be granted a coaching pass, and will not be allowed to coach in any capacity in any program.

If a coach or team manager joins AVYSL during the middle of a season, or at the beginning of Spring season, he/she must submit the online form before an adult pass will be granted.

To submit the CYSA Team Official Registration and Risk Management Disclosure form, click on the link on the left.

In addition, each of the programs has its own application procedures for coaches and team managers as outlined below:

Comp/Select Grandfathered Teams’ Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches:

• Returning Head and Assistant Coaches are required to submit their updated coaching license info every year.
• Returning Head and Assistant Coaches are no longer required to submit the AVYSL coaching application every year.  As long as a coach is in good standing, his/her coaching status within AVYSL will be renewed automatically.

Almaden FC Assistant Coaches:

• Every year, Assistant Coaches must notify their team’s Head Coach of their interest in coaching.
• Sign-ups are typically done during the initial Almaden FC Parent meeting
• Returning Assistant Coaches should submit their updated coaching license info if applicable.

Spring and Fall Recreation Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and Team Managers:

Recreation coaching and team management positions are assigned for one season at a time.  Therefore, all parents interested in one of these positions must follow these steps:

• During the online registration process for players, parents are given an opportunity to identify how they would like to volunteer during the season.  At this time, parents who are interested in one of these positions should sign up as Head Coach, Assistant Coach, and/or Team Manager.  (Note that there is no Team Manager role during the Spring Recreational season).
• These parents will be contacted by the Spring or Fall Directors to discuss the role.
• If you decide you are interested in one of these roles after your child is already registered, please contact the AVYSL Registrar to update your registration record.

If you have any questions about these processes, please send an email to avysl_registrar@almadensoccer.org.
