Risk Management

Risk Management is the collection of actions taken by Georgia Soccer and its affiliates to minimize risk associated with the playing and administration of the game of soccer.

Risk Management addresses a number of issues which include, but are not limited to, background checks & SafeSport training for those involved with youth players, abuse reporting, field and game safety and the protection of the state association and of each member organization and their assets.

Please use these resources to assist in mitigating risk for your organization. Georgia Soccer uses JDP as its trusted background screening provider. All Adult Participants must have an approved background check pursuant to Georgia Soccer Risk Management Policy and completed SafeSport training. 

Required SafeSport Certification Training
