Shenandoah FC Elite is required by the Virginia Youth Soccer Association to conduct background checks for all volunteers, whether you are new or returning, coach, manager, referee, or general volunteer.

Kidsafe is a risk management program designed to foster safe circumstances for every person, and especially every child, who participates in a US Youth Soccer affiliated activity. It is a program intended to bring awareness to all VYSA personnel and VYSA members concerning possible risks associated with our youth soccer programs. This form or electronic equivalent will be kept in absolute confidentiality by VYSA or each of its respective members and will be updated annually.
