Reminders, Please Read! 

This is the coach registration and background check portion handled by South Dakota Youth Soccer in order for you to be eligible to coach in your respective clubs. In the following pages we will verify and collect identifying information and if needed, prompt you to enter your social security number on the final page which will begin your background check process. ENSURE YOU CLICK ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE FINAL PAGE ASKING FOR YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, IF YOU STOP BEFORE THIS STEP YOUR BACKGROUND CHECK WILL NOT BEGIN.

If you are not prompted to enter your social security number you could already be in approved status, please reach out to your club if you feel you should have been prompted to take the background check and were not.
