Albuquerque Soccer League Safesport Training Instructions

The 2017 SafeSport Act requires all 18-year-old and older players, on a team with minors (17 years of age or younger), to complete the SafeSport Trained Core training. This training is accessible through the SafeSport Platform.

If your team wishes to register a player younger than 18, and the league's minimum age is 16, every player on your team's roster is required to complete SafeSport training.  If anyone on your team has already completed SafeSport training because they are involved in youth soccer or are a certified referee and their certification is current, they can provide us a copy of their completion certificate which is available from their SafeSport account.  They will not need to repeat the course for ASL. 

Once you have completed your Safesport training, please send the PDF version of the most recent certificate to your Team Manager and to Michele at aslsoccerstaff@gmail.com.  Michele is the league Safesport manager and maintains all records for those who are required to complete the course..

Which course to take: If you have never completed SafeSport training, you should take the course entitled “SafeSport Trained – U.S. Soccer Federation.”  If you have taken training before, you should take the next available Refresher Course.  If your last course taken was “Refresher 3” your next course would be the “SafeSport Trained – U. S. Soccer Federation” course again.  The training runs in a 4-year cycle as follows:

Year 1 – SafeSport Trained – U.S. Soccer Federation

Year 2 – Refresher 1

Year 3 – Refresher 2

Year 4 – Refresher 3

Year 5 – SafeSport Trained – U.S. Soccer Federation (again)

Note that there are other courses available in the catalog.  These are optional and do not meet the training requirements established by the Center for SafeSport.
