SYSA SAFETY GUIDELINES
As the coach of an SYSA team you are invested with the primary
responsibility for our players (children) safety. The following is
the SYSA policy on what SYSA expects you to do to protect the safety all
involved.
- All coaches must fill out a CORI form at
the MA Youth Soccer website as well as read, sign and return the SYSA Coaches
Code of Conduct to your Age
Group Director (AGD). To
complete your CORI for MYSA you need to go to browse korrio
swampscott youth soccer website and follow the steps in Adults
- How do I register for CORI and check status in Korrio.docx
- All coaches must be aware of and adhere to Safety Page for Guidelines .
- All coaches must have your Player Emergency Contact List
and Cell Phone at every game and practice. Please have a SYSA INCIDENT REPORT with you at every practice and game. Also, please ask parents at beginning
of season if there are any special conditions you should be aware of
such as allergies to bee stings, etc.
- At the FIRST
sound of thunder or sign of lightning, you are to pull your players
off the field be it a game or practice. Do not wait to be told
to take this action. Make sure all parents know that if thunder
is heard or lighting is seen, they are to return to the field
immediately to pick up their child.
- Make every
effort to have 2 adults on the field at every practice.
- Make sure you
know when and where your players will be picked up so that you can
make sure all children have safety connected with an adult prior to
leaving the field. No child is to be left alone. If you
need to take child with you due to a parent not arriving, make every
effort to send the player to a teammates home as opposed to bringing
them to your home.
- As the coach
you will be the first responder to an injury. Call for help if
you are unsure. Do not risk moving a player if it is at all
questionable. If a child is hurt, complete an Incident
Report and submit to your AGD immediately and make sure the
parent is aware of the injury immediately.
- Report any
unsafe condition or concern to your AGD immediately. Do not
assume someone knows about it.
In short we can not be too prepared or too careful. As
the coach you are the one all eyes will turn to. Please make sure you
have prepared, communicated and then documented.
SYSA LICENSURE GUIDELINES
All SYSA coaches are to be licensed.
Travel Coaches must earn an "F
License" and Intramural (IM)
Coaches a "G"
license. SYSA will reimburse any SYSA coach
for the cost of the licensing course. Please visit www.mayouthsoccer.org
