Coaches & Parent Coordinators

One of the essential functions of coaches and parent coordinators is to manage team communications with players and their families.  If you are a coach or parent coordinator, SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Coaches and Team Managers to help you use our website and mobile app to efficiently and effectively communicate and manage your teams. 

Coaches Training

As a head coach or assistant coach you are required to complete a background check and the SafeSport and/or Ace Education courses before starting the season. 

New Coaches - If this is your first season going through this process, you will need to complete the background check and SafeSport Core Training

Returning Coaches - If you have gone through this in the past you will still need to complete a new background check and at least one ACE course.

Please view the instructions on completing the background check and ACE/SafeSport Core Training, by navigating to "Help Documents" at the bottom of the registerusasoftball.com website

IMPORTANT - Make sure to select ACE w/ Background when purchasing your background check.
