Schedule your Live Scan
I'm sure many of us have been live scanned for various organizations over the years but unfortunately, live scan results are not transferable from another organization. So you need to perform this process for each organization you volunteer with. But the good news is that this is a one-time requirement.
To help streamline the process and make it easier to volunteer, other Regions around us will be hosting a live scan fingerprinting event. For your ease and convenience, Region 254 will pay for this service.
How to Register:
2. Click on the red button in the middle of the page that reads "GET FINGERPRINTED AT A SPONSORED AYSO EVENT"
3. Input your email address in the box that pops up to receive a validation code.
4. Check your email for validation code.
5. Input validation code received in email in the box that reads "Please enter one-time access code"
6. Click Proceed
7. On the next page, input Region number "254" and select the submission that matches from the drop down menu.
8. Click Next
9. Then, input your personal Information
---Your LEGAL NAME must match your Government Issued ID, make sure this is accurate
---This ID will be checked at the Scan site so please remember to bring it with you.
10. Click Next
11. On the next page, click the "Schedule Appointment" button associated with our Fingerprinting Event (AYSO Special Event)
12. Pick the appointment time that works for you. The vendor will be there from 8 a.m. to noon.
13. Watch a short video regarding the live scan event
14. Click Next
15. Read the "Terms and Conditions" page; click "I agree"
16. A QR code will pop up. That will be the receipt you will need to present at your appointment. You can either print it out and bring it with you or access the copy that will be emailed to you.
You're now registered!! Just show up (with your government issued ID) and get fingerprinted. You will be one step closer to being cleared to volunteer!

If you started this process and do not immediately receive an email:
Please search the Subject for: "Here's the link" (exclude the quotes) or use other terms/phrases such as: "Sterling Volunteers", "American Youth Soccer Organization", or "TheAdvocates". If you find the email and the link has expired, you must contact Sterling.
Issues with Middle Name or Middle Initial
The system may generate a message in regards to the Middle Name and may not let you continue. If you encounter this issue, select the option indicating you do not have a Middle Name (even if you do). This will allow you to successfully complete the process. We will follow-up with AYSO if this results in any issues with your Background Check.
