**Attention GNWSA Coaches**
Coach Registration Requirements
1) Register to Coach - Every season there will be a link here on the coaches page to register.
2) NTSSA Risk Assessment: As part of the registration, you will be asked to complete a background check. This only needs to be done once each June 1st - May 31st soccer year. If you are a new coach you MUST complete this step prior to receiving team roster or being assigned to a team.
3) Safe Sport Training: This only needs to be done once each June 1st - May 31st soccer year. If you are a new coach you MUST complete this step prior to receiving team roster or being assigned to a team.
 
All of these steps MUST be completed in order for you to be assigned to a team.
NOTE: If you are a returning coach and experience problems accessing your COACH profile, contact the GNWSA Registrar at registrar@gnwsa.com for assistance. Please do not create a new account as this creates duplicate records and will cause issues for you getting your Safe Sport and Background Check to clear.
