Welcome and thanks for volunteering for SABR for our 2020 - 2021 Season. The process has changed slightly from previous seasons, so please follow this step-by-step Guide. Registration is a 2-part process. Every volunteer – new and returning – must have annual authorization by Florida Youth Soccer Association for the 2020 – 2021 Season. Part 1 begins the annual authorization. It takes about 15 minutes.

• The first steps in the Part 1 process are the agreements that you will participate according to FYSA and SABR standards as a FYSA affiliate.

• The last steps in Part 1 complete your Risk Management background check, which is a national Federal mandate for all volunteers in all youth sports. The Risk Management requirement must be completed annually.

Part 2 is dedicated to 2 other national Federal educational mandates that must be completed every 2 years.

• The CDC HeadsUp concussion awareness course takes about 30 minutes – without stopping. If you stop, you will need to start again at the beginning of the online course.

• The SafeSport certificate for awareness of bullying and other problems takes 2 hours online. You can stop and resume at your own pace.

Please complete Part 1 as soon as possible so we can start aligning Coaches/Team Parents with teams and practice schedules. Please also complete Part 2 as soon as possible. We need everyone in place in September to build team rosters. Please email one of us if you have any questions about being a Coach or a Team Parent:

Walli: Team Parent - Boys & Girls U5 & U6 (wali@sabrsoccer.net) Larry: Coach - GU7 and older (lfaerman@sabrsoccer.net) Earl: Coach - BU7 and older (president@sabrsoccer.net)

If you have any questions or difficulties with executing any of these online procedures, please email our Registrar, Marlynda Comiskey: registrar@sabrsoccer.net. REMEMBER: You will not be allowed to coach a team unless you complete the requirements of Parts 1 and 2: Kind regards, Walli Ali, SABR Director – Training Larry Faerman, SABR Director – Girls Recreational Soccer Earl Starkoff, President

How to Register as a Volunteer – Part 1 Step 1: This link opens your 1-time Authorization for the 2020-2021 season.

https://www.gotsport.com/asp/application/reg/?ProgramID=90160&Type=COACH Once you complete Part 1 and are Authorized, you will only be able to continue through a different link, which is shown at the beginning of Part 2. New volunteers – fill out and create New Users account. Returning volunteers – use your previous login and password for Registered Users from 2019-2020. Please write down your UserName and Password for future use. If you cannot remember your information, create a new account and the software will find you. If you still can’t remember your password (because yes we all have too many), just create a new account and our Registrar can merge them later: registrar@sabrsoccer.net

Step 2: You will scroll through several screens of forms and you will need to check little Agreement boxes in the bottom right that appear along the way. The forms for review and agreement start with Coach/Volunteers, then Parents/Spectator, Waivers, and listing your children and practice night choices.

Read the code of ethics and check the very little box to the right with the red asterik – this lets us know you’ve actually read the information.

To complete Step 2, you need to read (scroll within) the Background Check Agreement & Digital Signature box to the end of the box so you can Submit to complete the step.

START

Step 3: Fill in your full name, check the box to agree with terms and then click the “Finish & Submit Application” button.

Step 4: You will see this confirmation screen that you’ve completed your registration authorization for 2020-2021 and the required Risk Management background check is being processed. If you do not see this confirmation, please email our Registrar, Marlynda Comiskey: registrar@sabrsoccer.net. Be sure to include your full name and phone number. Marlynda will research and contact you.

Part 1 is complete and now it’s on to Part 2.
