Thank you for volunteering with WYSA! We appreciate your time and commitment to the sport and our players.
US Soccer requires all volunteers to complete a series of registrations and trainings before stepping on the field for practice or games. These requirements have been established by federal, state, and local organizations and are intended to protect players and volunteers alike.
All soccer-related registrations should be completed using the same legal first and last name and email address; this will ensure auto verification of required training when possible. Please refer to your government-issued ID card.
You will be asked to upload a headshot photo that is of passport quality (no sunglasses, hats, busy background, or other people/family members in the photo).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: I think I've finished all of the requirements, why aren't I cleared?
A: 90% of the emails we receive are related to Mass Youth Soccer's ANNUAL registration requirement. This means that every year you must register with MYSA (even if you registered last year, you MUST register again this year). To do so, click this link:
