4 Steps to USA Lacrosse Coach Membership

- Click the Background Check button on your profile page to start your background screening.
- Begin your journey down the USA Lacrosse certification pathway.
The background screening and online abuse prevention course are both provided by USA Lacrosse for coach members at no additional charge. You will be directed via email with information to complete steps 3 and 4 after you join or renew your membership. Membership is an annual requirement while the background screen and online abuse prevention training are required to be updated every two years.
Abuse Prevention Training
Access the training through the My Account login and the E-Learning portal on USA Lacrosse.
Does USA Lacrosse accept other abuse prevention training courses?
If you have completed the online SafeSport Trained course or one of the Refresher Courses through the U.S. Center for SafeSport for a different sports organization or with USA Lacrosse, that will be accepted. USA Lacrosse will also accept a completion certificate for Abuse Prevention Systems, the current training provider, if it was completed under another organization. Please note that completion certificates must be from within the last 6 months in order to be accepted. Completion certificates can be e-mailed to the Membership Experience team at membership@usalacrosse.com. Please allow up to 3-5 business days for your completion to be reflected on your USA Lacrosse membership account.
