Q: What courses do I need to take to become a certified AYSO volunteer?

A: All volunteers must complete three online courses at ETrainU: Safe Haven™, CDC Concussion Awareness, and SAFESPORT.

In addition, Coaches must obtain their age-specific Coach Certification by taking an online or instructor-led class.  Referees must obtain their level-specific certification through instructor-led classes as well. Talk to your Coach Administrator or Referee Administrator for more information.

Q. How do I find EtrainU (formerly AYSOu) ?

A:  To get to the ETrainU, login to your byroncenter-ayso.com account.  Click on Volunteer tab, under your name will be a AYSOU tab.  Click on this to take you to ETrainU.

Q: How do I find online and in-person certification courses at ETrainU?

A:  Once in the ETrainU system, click Training Event on the left side and it will take you to available in-person training courses.  To register for an event, follow the prompts within each category.  

You may register for, and attend, Certification Courses through ANY AYSO Region.

Note: Higher-division Coaching Certification does not confer to lower levels. Meaning, if you are a Certified 12U Coach, this does not qualify you to coach at the 10U level. Coaches must obtain Certification at each age-division they coach, in order to be protected under the Volunteer Protection Act.
Coaches and Referees must attend in-person certification courses, specific to the age-division/level they will be coaching/refereeing.
