Below are (3) three parts that are mandatory for any adult to be added to a team account/roster and/or receive an Adult Participation pass. Each of these three (3) components are linked through the individual coach's or individual manager GotSport profile. SafeSport training is required for any adult or player turning 18 during the seasonal year.
BACKGROUND CHECKS
Background checks will now expire on May 31 of each year, however, they will still be valid for two (2) years.
If your background check is expiring this year, you will need to submit your check on or after June 1, and again we encourage everyone to do this as early in the summer months as possible as the checks do take time to clear and CANNOT be sped up once submitted.

SAFESPORT CERTIFICATION
STX Youth Soccer requires each Club Officer, Staff Member, Board Member, Coach, Manager or Player turning 18 within a seasonal year are REQUIRED to complete a SafeSport training annually.
SafeSport certificates will now expire on May 31 annually. For this seasonal year only (2023-2024), we will honor a 14-month period; therefore, if you took the course in April or May 2023, you will not need to complete the module again until June 1, 2024. If you have taken the requirement prior to April 1, 2023, you will need to take it again before the start of the 23-24 season, in order to be compliant.
For everyone else who will be working with teams for the 23-24 seasonal year, we are recommending the SafeSport course be completed on or after June 1 but preferably sometime early in the summer months. Without this certification, we cannot roster adults to teams or create adult participation passes.
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE 2023-24 REGISTRATION YEAR, ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FOUR SAFESPORT COURSES MUST BE COMPLETED ON OR AFTER MAY 31, 2023:
SafeSport Trained- U.S. Soccer Federation - this is also referred to as "Core" training
SafeSport Refresher 1
SafeSport Refresher 2
SafeSport Refresher 3
More specifically, an individual should complete the next available course in the four-year cycle listed above. The cycle repeats after Refresher 3 to re-complete each course starting with the "Core" training again. Only one (1) of the above listed courses would need to be completed each year.

BAYSA FIELD CLOSURES AND RAINOUTS
Each member club controls the use of fields within their boundaries. Only the club president (or designated board member) can close club fields before the start of regularly scheduled BAYSA game times. It is expected that fields will be closed a minimum of two (2) hours before the affected games as a courtesy to teams traveling to the affected club. If a significant number of BAYSA member clubs close all fields, the BAYSA Executive Board will evaluate whether or not to cancel the entire Association's weekend game schedule. Finally, if there is an impending weather threat or condition that would affect the entire BAYSA area, the BAYSA President has the authority to announce a complete shutdown of the entire Association's weekend game schedule. If BAYSA finds it necessary to cancel the entire weekend's schedule, each club president will be notified to inform his/her club's coaches by a BAYSA Executive Board member.
RAINOUT AND FIELD CLOSURE INFORMATION
Information through statusme.com on the www.baysa.org Rainouts: Update the Statusme a minimum of 2 hours before the first scheduled game. Contact the BAYSA Scheduler and the Referee Assignor by email or voice mail before the end of the day.
D. Playing Season
1. The BAYSA schedule will schedule teams for no less than nine (9) matches during the fall season. The total number of matches for each play group will be determined by the number of teams that sign up for that play group.
2. A split season will be administered for U9 and U10 age divisions that will more equitably bracket competition for high–middle-low teams.
3. UIL or state rules regarding play will only apply to affected age divisions.
4. A club is subject to a fine for any team that does not show up for a scheduled match not to exceed referee fees.
Team Formation.
2. Clubs registering teams for competition in the fall season are required to furnish a list of all teams to the BAYSA Scheduler no later than August 1. This list must include the team name, age division, and level of play (division) for each team. Each club is responsible for the accuracy of all information submitted. No team will be allowed to register for the fall season after August 15.
Reschedules, Inclement Weather, and field closures
1. Regularly scheduled games can only be postponed or rescheduled because of (1) inclement weather or conditions, (2) other sanctioned Baysa soccer activities, or (3) lack of center referee for Division II and Division III 11-aside games. All teams are required to show up for all scheduled games (regular or make-up) at the field and at the time scheduled unless notified prior to the game by the team’s club president.
2. Each member club controls the use of fields within their boundaries. Only the club president (or designated board member) can close the fields before regularly scheduled Baysa game times. When this becomes necessary, the field closures and rain-out procedures as stated will be followed. The Baysa Scheduler notifies the Baysa Directors of Referees. If a significant number of Baysa member clubs close their fields, the BAYSA Executive Board will evaluate whether or not to cancel the entire Association’s weekend game schedule. Finally, if there is an impending weather threat that would affect the entire Baysa area, the Baysa President will announce a shutdown of the entire
Association’s weekend’s game schedule.
If Baysa finds it necessary to cancel the entire weekend’s schedule, each club president will be notified to inform his/her club’s coaches by a Baysa Executive Board Member.
3. If a game is declared a rain out or is stopped prior to the start of the second half, each coach involved will contact
their scheduler. The club schedulers (home and visitors) will submit to the Baysa Scheduler, within five days, a list of all games (home and visitors) that are to be rescheduled. Games not submitted to the Baysa Scheduler will not be rescheduled and will be submitted to Baysa D&P. The Baysa Scheduler will reschedule the game at any available open slot of either club’s field, first priority to the home club, second priority to the visiting club. If no site is available, a neutral site may be assigned. The Baysa Scheduler will confirm all reschedules and arrange for referees, if available.
4. All postponed games must be reschedule within 22 days of the originally scheduled date. Failure to comply with the 22 day requirement may cause the game be forfeited. If a coach has a conflict with the reschedule, arrangements must be made for someone else to coach the team.
5. Coaches will not reschedule a game without adherence to the above procedure. The BAYSA field schedule will have final authority in rescheduled games.
6. Once a game has started, only the referee can decide if the game is to be called because of foul weather or
possible damage to the playing field. If the game is stopped during the first half of play, the game must be
rescheduled and replayed in its entirety. If the game has reached half-time or play is into the second half of
play, the game will stand with the score as it is at the particular time. The referee has the final authority to
postpone a game because of weather.
