Coaching Courses and Licensing
Mass Youth Soccer believes that “the game is the greatest teacher” and that children will get better at soccer by playing, playing and more playing. We also believe that well-trained, resourceful coaches will enhance a child's enjoyment of this beautiful sport. To that end we have designed a series of coaching courses, each leading to a certificate or license that emphasizes proper coaching principles. We encourage you to take advantage of these courses.
Although there aren’t field or written tests in the G, F or E courses, each involves several hours of activity. To get the most out of each course, participation in the practical, active sessions is strongly encouraged, but is not required. These light soccer activities make up approximately one half of each course.
The exception to the above descriptions of the G, F and E courses is the On-Line G course. There is no physical activity on your part, but there is a short quiz at the conclusion of the course that you must pass in order to receive the G License certificate.
Please note, the attendants must be 16 years of age in order to attend courses and receive license certification.
If you are not an affiliated member of Mass Youth Soccer, you will be charged an additional fee of $100.00.
