While it is not possible to eliminate all the risks involved in playing, coaching, or administering youth soccer the British Columbia Soccer Association is committed to reducing the risks associated with youth soccer in the province. 

One of the ways we reduce risk is with the BCSA Disclosure forms. These forms are designed to ensure that the coaches, volunteers, administrators involved in youth soccer have no history of harming kids.  

·         Every volunteer or employee age 19 and above must complete a Volunteer/Employee Disclosure Statement Form A or Form B or both annually.

·         Each District must appoint a District Risk Management Coordinator.

·         Each Club must appoint a Club Risk Management Coordinator.

The BC Soccer Association shall appoint a Provincial Risk Management Coordinator. This person's role is to investigate individual Volunteer Disclosure Forms when requested by the District R.M.C. after it has been determined that there may be a concern with a “Relevant Offence” as disclosed on an individual’s application.

The BCSA shall, with input from the Districts review the existing Risk Management Policy and Procedures by April of each year.

Each District must establish a Risk Management Policy within their District.
