AYSO Coach Training courses are held in Carpinteria and scheduled on the website calendar. Additional live courses are available in nearby communities. Notification of upcoming AYSO Coach Training courses are included in the Carpinteria AYSO Volunteer Newsletter, Off The Pitch.

All Carpinteria AYSO Teams are coached by parents and neighbors that have completed AYSO Coach Training.

AYSO U6, U8, and U10 Coach Courses are the complete "How-to" for coaching young children and provide adults unique entry to contributing as Team Coaches and Assistant Coaches. These courses are offered in a classroom and field session format and an online course and field session format. The classroom course is more effective and dynamic. The online course is more convenient.

The AYSO U12 Coach Course addresses the transition from young children to teenage soccer players. AYSO Intermediate, Advanced Coach, and National Courses are also available.

The individual skills and characteristics needed to be a successful Carpinteria AYSO Coach are shared by most parents. The time needed to be a U6 and U8 Coach is little more than the time spent actually watching the game. The satisfaction and enjoyment of starting on the AYSO Coaching path must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Advance course registration is recommended. To register for an AYSO Coach Course or for help with online training, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Kathy Mayer at email or call 805-450-6357.
