For Coaches
Background Screening and Concussion Training
Kent County Youth Soccer is committed to the safety of our youth players. The board feels that a critical step to protecting our players is to require background checks and concussion training of all coaches and assistants.
The Association is absorbing the cost of all background checks. Please use the link below to access the background check form. This form must be completed and notarized before being submitted.

Concussion training resources will be provided during the initial coaches' meeting with the KCYSA Board, but you may also access these resources in the Coaches Packet to the right here. Once you have reviewed the concussion information provided, please complete the form below so the board has record of your understanding of these protocols.
