All coaches (i.e., travel, recreation, and TOPSoccer) must submit NJYS approved compliance documents in their Sports Connect account for verification (if not previously verified), including Coaching Education *(Travel Only), Concussion Education, and annual SafeSport training. See the compliance requirements below:

• Coaching Education (No Expiration Date) *Travel Only
• Concussion Education (No Expiration Date)
• SafeSport Training (Annual Requirement - Completion Date after January 1st, 2023)
• Background Check (Every Two Years )**

All adults applying for a coach member pass must also submit and clear a background check every two seasonal years with NJ Youth Soccer. 

**For Recreation organizations that conduct their own background checks, the organization must complete a "Certification of Criminal Background Screening Compliance for Recreational Youth Coaches."

Once players and coaches are registered, a club administrator can assign them to a team.  Prior to team assignment, the team needs to be created in the new seasonal year through either of the two methods:

 (1) Migrate Existing Teams From a Previous Year*
 (2) Create New Teams

*Team migration does not migrate players and coaches with the team. Only the team name and code will be migrated to the next age group. 

For instructions on rostering players/admins through the state platform, click here.

Once all players and coaches are assigned, you may proceed to the team activation step. All players and coaches must be compliant (e.g, verified) prior to activation. For requests related to verification, please contact your assigned district commissioner. 

For team activation, pass printing, and roster printing instructions, click here. 

*Once teams are 'activated the ONLY way to move a player off the roster is through transfer or release. When forming teams, please take careful note of the Member Policies (e.g. Roster Sizes, Transfer Windows and Limits, Minimum Number of Players, Playing Up Age Limits).
