The NTSSA Risk Management Program is in place to identify and assess potential risks to our soccer community. We monitor and minimize the probability and/or impact these risks may pose to youth athletes around the state. Risk management ranges from making sure that all players wear shin guards to providing background checks for all our volunteers, coaches and staff members.

The objectives of the risk management program are:

• To review and recommend policies and procedures to ensure the safety of our participants.
• To establish secure records and maintain the background check information program for volunteers, employees and others who are entrusted with the supervision and care of players and participants, including financial care.
• To provide secondary medical coverage for injuries incurred during participation in North Texas Soccer activities.
• To provide policy recommendations and education for North Texas Soccer Member Associations to minimize liabilities and other manageable risks including financial risk.

***Please Note: All Amateur Organization Members coaches must complete the Center’s “SafeSport Trained” Core Training and refresher course(s) on an annual basis.
