Clubs will need to verify that coaches have completed the Safe Sport certification before submitting them for membership, similar to the background check requirement. You can print out a certificate after you complete the certification; I would suggest that clubs require that certificate from their coaches before they submit them.

The certification is currently a one-time deal, although we are at the mercy of the U.S. Center for SafeSport, which could add a refresher course at some point in the future. Also, there are two bills currently under consideration by the U.S. Congress that might impose additional requirements (one of the bills has already been passed by the House).
