PYSA could not function without our volunteers. Thank you for volunteering your time this season!

COACH REGISTRATION

This is for all Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches to complete. It helps us efficiently collect and document necessary coach information.

COACH FIND YOUR TEAM

This is a NEW portal to help quickly distribute team information and offer a glimpse of your team roster. Information is subject to change based on last minute player or league needs. League Commissioners will send out the official rosters to coaches 2-3 days after the Coach Equipment Pick-up. Head Coaches are responsible for contacting and connecting with their team.

COACH COMPLIANCE

All coaches must complete the following four compliance trainings and submit your ‘Proof of Compliance’ form before the first practice of each season.

These are requirements from the State of Ohio, SAY Soccer (our parent company) and PYSA for the safety of our players and coaches.
