Step 6: LiveScan Fingerprinting

Fingerprinting is now required by the State for all youth sports volunteers. Like the background check, fingerprinting is covered by the Region. Please note that fingerprints must be submitted for each organization you volunteer with (e.g., AYSO, schools, Little League), as they are not shared across agencies.

Our region has partnered with a local office to assist in expediting the process. If you use this partner, you do not need to pay and go through the reimbursement process. Please be sure to use the fingerprint application below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do I find online courses to take?

Once in AYSOU, click Training Library on the left side to view all available online training courses.

Coaches must obtain Certification at each age-division they coach, in order to be protected under the Volunteer Protection Act.
