Iowa Soccer is switching systems this year ('24-'25,) if you are a returning coach, please be sure to use the same email address that you used previously, for the most seamless transition.

There are 3 compliance items that are required by either State or Federal law to be completed prior to volunteer participation within the Iowa Soccer Association. Without completion volunteers can be stopped from participation. All of the compliance courses can be completed within the USSF Learning Center.

Access the USSF Learning Center here: https://learning.ussoccer.com

Required Compliance:

1. SafeSport Certification (Can be obtained within the USSF Learning Center)

2. Concussion Certification (Within the USSF Learning Center by taking the Intro to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments Course)

3. Completed and approved Background Check. This is automatically run once you register and may take up to 10 business days to return results.
