Risk Management
All teams at all levels must complete Risk Management
Registration. In order for your team to be allowed to play, the coach, assistant
and manger must complete the online registration. NCYSA will not release any
team passes or rosters until the coaches and manger have completed the risk
management form.
Each of the following persons shall be a “Covered Person” required to comply.
a. Each coach, assistant coach, substitute coach, staff coach, skills trainer,
director of coaching, associate director of coaching, assistant director of
coaching, referee assignor, athletic trainer, program administrator, and
association officer employed, serving as a volunteer of, serving as an
independent contractor of, or endorsed by a member association or a team of a
member association (each such person being “associated” and having an
“association” with such member association).
b. Referees, referee assistants, fourth officials, instructors, assessors and
administrators who are members of the North Carolina Soccer Referees Association
(“NCSRA”) and who officiate, instruct, observe or participate in administering
matches sponsored by member associations or NCYSA (each such person being
“associated” and having an “association” with NCSRA);
c. any person having a status or engaging in activities with a member
association or with the Olympic Development Program of the NCYSA (“ODP”) who, as
a result, can reasonably be expected to be alone with a registered player of any
member association or NCYSA who is a minor in a non-public setting for any
period of time by reason of such status or activities (each a person
“associated” and having an “association” with the relevant entity); provided,
however, that each member association shall be responsible for determining the
persons associated with it who are within this category; and provided further,
that NCYSA shall be responsible for determining the persons associated with it
who are within this category.
