Effective May 1, 2025, Illinois Youth Soccer will transition their Risk Management procedures to the US Soccer Safe Soccer Clearance Program.
In Fall 2024, YSSL’s groundbreaking Match Commissioner (MC) Program made a powerful impact—covering 99 games and raising the bar for game-day safety and professionalism.
✅ Referees reported feeling safer✅ Coaches and spectators praised the proactive oversight✅ Game-day check-ins and sideline management ensured smooth operations
From preventing conflicts before they begin to acting swiftly when tensions rise, YSSL Match Commissioners are a game-changer. No other youth soccer league in the state is doing this—and the program is positioning YSSL as a national leader in creating safer, more professional environments for everyone on and around the pitch.
This isn’t just a program. It’s a movement.This is YSSL. Pioneering the future of youth soccer.
