Below are IMPORTANT UPDATES to the risk management requirements and processes for the new seasonal year:

As a reminder, becoming Safe Soccer approved is the process by which any coach, trainer, board member, league/club staff or other OSA defined “Adult Participant” meet the criteria set forth by the State and Federal governments, U.S. Soccer, US Youth Soccer, and Ohio Soccer Association (OSA) for the safety of all participants each seasonal year.

OSA Risk Requirements

  • Background Checks are required every two (2) years and can take an avg of 3-5 business days; however, during the months of July and August, background checks can take 7-14 business days to process so please start the process early. To receive your NEW 2022-2023 background check code, email tcyspresident@gmail.com on the recreational side & fctippdirector@gmail.com on the select side. DO NOT PAY FOR THE BACKGROUND CHECK.
  • Concussion Training is required every two (2) years and is the ONLY requirement completed outside of your Player’s Health risk account through either the CDC or NFHS training.  The NFHS training is easier to navigate. You will be required to upload your completed concussion certificate into your Player’s Health risk account.
  • Lindsay’s Law is required annually and is completed directly through your Player’s Health risk account by electronically signing off on the 18-minute coach’s video.
  • SafeSport Training is required annually and is completed through your Player’s Health risk account. Four-Year Training Cycle: The Core Course takes approximately 1.5-2 hrs and any Refresher Courses (1, 2, or 3) takes approximately 15-20 mins. It is recommended to download a copy of your current certificate for your records.  It may take 24-48 hours for your newly completed course to sync as completed in your risk account.
