Starting a NEW Club
01
Register your new club on Sports Engine for the 2025 -26 season here.
Fill out the form so your club is set up in the Sports Engine system.
Full access to your Sports Engine HQ is not available until you have a clear background screening and Safe Sport training completed. Sports Engine will contact you at some point. BE AWARE they will try to sell you a website option. You do not have to purchase anything. So do not feel pressured. The basic registration site is free.
02
Figure what you need to charge for each player. Be sure to have a contract with your player/parent explaining what you will give the player for their money.
03
Each player and any adult associated with the team/club needs to register online. Go to the Pioneer Region website and click on the membership tab. Players will purchase a $10 tryout membership to get them into the system. The clubs will pay the remaining ($40) of the membership fee to Pioneer Region.
Adults will pay all fees online…membership ($50) and background screening. ($14)
04
The $50 pays for the USAV membership plus a secondary medical insurance and the region will provide proof of insurance for your practice facility if needed for the club.
05
​ All adults associated with the club/team must do Safe Sport and have a background screening( takes 5 to 10 business days to complete). Coaches must do IMPACT training. Safe Sport and IMPACT are free online with the membership fee. All need to have a paid member before starting the courses, or there could be a charged fee. There is a Safe Sport refresher course that must be completed yearly after the initial course is taken. IMPACT is one time only and good for life.
06
Safe Sport will also be required of all players who are 18 years of age…or will turn 18 during the season.
07
Head Coaches must be at least 18 years of age.
08
Mail one check from the club to pay for players ($40 each deducting the $10 tryout fee) with a list of names and DOB. Check is made out to Pioneer Region and mailed to:
Nancy Funk
7906 Ferndale Rd.
Louisville, KY 40291
Once the club director is registered, completed their background screening and Safe Sport, the region can issue insurance certificates for facilities used for team practices. There is no fee for this certificate.
