To volunteer to become a soccer coach for Glen Rose Soccer Association, you will have to follow these steps BEFORE we establish the teams for the season.

 All coaches need to complete 26/27 Registration, Safesport Certification and Background check through Gotsport. 

PLEASE NOTE: ALL COACHES MUST BE APPROVED BY THE DIRECTOR OF COACHING. SIGNING UP TO COACH DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET A TEAM.

STEP 1 - SIGN UP

Sign up to coach for the season.   You must have a Gotsport account.  If you don't have an account, sign up for one. 

STEP 2 - RISK MANAGEMENT

Undergo a Risk Management check.  All volunteers that will instruct our players (managers and coaches) must have a background check.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SUBMITTED A BACKGROUND CHECK AFTER JUNE 1, 2026 YOU NEED A NEW ONE

* In order to do a background check, log into your Gotsport account, Go to your DASHBOARD, click REQUIREMENTS, and follow the instructions to submit a background check. It could take a few weeks for the report to come back with a results. Once you are approved, we can then put you in the coaching pool for a team.  If you are not approved, we cannot allow you to volunteer.  We are not made aware of why you weren't approved, just that you are not approved by the North Texas State Soccer Association.

STEP 3 - SAFE SPORT

Safe Sport is mandatory by law for all coaches, assistant coaches, managers, and any volunteer with kids. If you have coached before and done the initial Safe Sport then you must complete a refresher course every year. You will se the link to complete this in the same location as the background check.
