Background Checks
All background checks are being done through an online system implemented by MYSA. All coaches, recreation and traveling, must complete this background check each year. If you did the background check in the fall, then you don't need to do it for the spring. For more information on this and/or to get your online background check filled out follow this link: http://www.mnyouthsoccer.org/programs/backgroundcheck.cfm
