This only applies if you are already an existing volunteer in AYSO. If you are a new volunteer, you need to create an account first and register as a volunteer.

Please note the following:

  • If you plan to remain in AYSO, it is crucial to have your background check up to date.
  • A background check must be done every year.
  • You can renew your background check up to 90 days prior to the expiration date.
  • You will receive a reminder 30 days in advance before your background check expires.
  • Failure to renew your background check before the expiration date will affect your eligibility to volunteer as well as your Instructor, Region, and/or Area access on AYSOU (if applicable).


If you are planning to return as a volunteer, please follow the next steps on how to renew your background check:

1. Log into your Region's Sports Connect website where you registered to volunteer.

2. On the left side of the My Account page, click on the 'Volunteer' Tab.

👀Please note: If you don't see your volunteer records, you will need to register as a volunteer to do a background check. Here are the instructions: Register as a Volunteer

If you do see a volunteer record, please proceed with the following steps:

3. Go to the 'Certification Status' list below your name and volunteer position.

4. Check the box next to 'Risk Status' (Background Check Status), then click the button at the bottom of the box, 'Renew and Update'.
