Coach Safe Haven Certification

The Safe Haven Certification Program was developed by AYSO to provide protection for the children and volunteers in AYSO. The volunteer Protection Act of 1997 was passed by congress to promote volunteerism. This law grants immunity from certain types of prosecution for volunteers who meet its requirements. The course is 2 hours long and only needs to be taken once by a coach or volunteer. Every volunteer needs to take this course.

For those coaches who have not yet taken their Safe Haven class they need to complete the course online by using the following link - Online Safe Haven.
