Coach Registration

There is a new process for completing the requirements.  Please click HERE to get step by step instructions.

There are three different requirements to complete to be coach, assistant coach, trainer, or manager on a recreational team.

  1. Google Form
  2. Certifications in the US Soccer Learning Center
  3. RMA (Background Check)

Each of these have their own links.  Everything is free, do not pay for your background check through US Soccer Learning Center.

Please complete the Google Form below.  We will not know you want to be a coach/assistant/trainer/manager if you do not complete this form.  This form is not a guarantee of a team, but let’s us know you are wanting to volunteer.

Coach Sign Up Sheet – https://forms.gle/wUN7dLBHuoNMg9fz7

All coaches, assistant coaches, managers, and anyone working with players must be sure the following is complete:

  1. Phase I in the US Soccer Learning Center – This will cover the SafeSport Training, Intro to Safety, and concussion requirements
  2. Risk Status (Background check) and Season Registration – Be sure you choose Fall 2025-2026 (NOT REC Fall) and under Club, choose Columbia Premier (NOT Camas Washougal).

All certifications must be done through the US Soccer Learning Center.  The association will not accept other certifications uploaded.   Certifications must be current and not expire during the season.  They may say you are current, but if they expire before the end of the season, you need to complete them.  You cannot renew more than 30 days in advanced of the expiration.

Before you complete your background check, you need to complete Phase I of Safe Soccer.  US Youth Soccer has moved this to the US Soccer Learning Center.  If you have registered for a coaching license/certification, you have an account.

Process:  Click HERE for the new instructions on how to complete your certifications and your background check.

For your background check (RMA) be sure you choose Fall 2025-2026 (NOT REC Fall) and under Club, choose Columbia Premier (NOT Camas Washougal).

Your name, DOB, and email address must match both the US Soccer Learning Center and Sports Connect (where you will complete your RMA/background check).  Your certificates will not sync if they do not match and you will not be able to complete the background check.

All players register in the year they were born in.  Age groups are based on how old the child will be at the end of the soccer seasonal year. 

For the 2025 fall season, age groups are based on how old the child will be on December 31, 2026.

For the fall season, the player must turn five years old on or before December 31, 2026.

You must upload a state issued birth certificate or passport when you register for soccer.  Hospital certificates are not accepted.

With the new registration, PlayMetrics, all players will have to upload their state issued birth certificate or passport.  If you did this for the 2023 Fall season or later, it should not need to be done for spring as long as you use the same account.  When registering, you choose the tab to choose from a document in the account.

No, Washington State Youth Soccer (WYS) requires all players to submit a state issued certificate of live birth or current passport in order to be assigned to a team. Hospital certificates are NOT accepted no matter how cute the little footprints are.

Practice times and start dates vary depending on your team. Most teams will begin practicing mid to late August. Most teams practice twice per week.   Practices are weekdays after 5pm. We do not know practice schedules before placing players on teams, therefore unable to guarantee practice schedule requests.  

Fall season games will be on Friday evenings, or during the day on Saturdays. Games start September 5/6, and end November 1st.  

Tryouts are not part of the recreational soccer program. Try-outs are held for players age 7 and older wishing to play at an advanced level of competition. These teams are Advanced Competition teams and only play other Advanced Competition teams. All other teams are recreational teams, players are assigned based on last year’s team, team request, and sign-up date.

We encourage all players to register as soon as possible so we can try and honor team and coach requests. There are no guarantees – but returning players who register by the returning player deadline typically are granted their request.

Fall season returning player registration deadline is June 15th.

Please do not, it causes errors in the data base and makes it difficult for coaches to contact players! Please create their own account so that their information is accurate for parents to be notified directly. If someone is having trouble registering please have them contact Nick Martinez at grassroots@columbiapremier.com.  Our registration software is mobile device friendly.   The public library also has computers for use for free.

Contact Nick Martinez at grassroots@columbiapremier.com if you have questions.
