FINGERPRINTING - MANDATORY
The league and Sierra Oaks Soccer requires all coaches and assistant coaches to be fingerprinted and have a background check done (even if you are in law enforcement and have had it done recently as state and local agencies do not share fingerprint records).

We have contracted with Capital Live Scan, a local company that performs a "live scan" fingerprinting service. For more information and locations on this service, www.capitallivescan.com.

The live scan process takes about a minute and you only need to bring you legal identification (drivers license or passport). The required form is listed below. Sierra Oaks Soccer pays for the live scan service for coaches and assistant coaches.

Coaching clinics & Licenses

According to the RCYSL coach & referee handbook: Coaches and assistant-coaches must complete a CYSA "F" course. However, the "F" course requirement may be waived for the first coaching year.

The training consists of a 3 hour class room session and an 8 hour outdoor session. CYSA instructors will teach you everything that you need to know to run a youth soccer team. The cost of the class & license are covered by the Club.

For coaches of older teams, we recommend getting the class 'E' license. At this level Basic Tactics and Intermediate Technique are the focus. Again, you put in the time and the Club will put in the cash.
