Required Screening & Training

All head coaches and assistant coaches are required to complete a background check, SafeSport training, and concussion training before practices and games begin. These requirements must be completed each soccer year (runs August - July). All players 18 and older must also complete SafeSport training to be eligible to play. Links for these requirements can also be found on the TSSA homepage (tnsoccer.org) under Quick Links.

SafeSport Training (required for coaches and for players 18 and older)
The purpose of the Safesport Abuse Training is to educate in a 3-part series. Each training module lasts about 30 minutes and can be taken in segments. SafeSport training runs in a four year cycle. After completing the first year, the next three years will be a 30-minute review. The fifth year will restart the cycle with the full training program.
