Training FAQ's

Q. I'm just the Asst Coach, do I have to take all the training?
A. YESSSS!, a thousand times, Yes. All coaches (Head & Assistant) must take the same training to be AYSO-certified volunteers.

Q. I signed up for the Field session, do I need anything else?
A. YES, you MUST complete the online coach course for the division you are coaching prior to attending the In-Person Class/Field session. Please bring either the course completion email you received from etrainU showing Proof of Completion or print the Online Course Certificate. You will not be allowed to take the In-Person course without proof you completed the online course.

Other Important Information

To be a Head or Assistant Coach, you MUST be 18 years old. No exceptions

AYSO Requires Age Appropriate Training

A higher level Coach License does not automatically qualify you for a lower division. You must be certified for each division you wish to coach.
Example: If you have an Intermediate Coach License and wish to coach 10U, you will need to take the 10U Coach course.
Exception: If you are 8U Coach certified, you do not need to take the 6U Coach Course to coach a 6U team.

The 12U Coach course is a prerequisite to coach in the Upper Divisions (14U/16U/19U). You must also complete a season in-grade.
In our region, the 12U Coach course consists of the online (Part 1) course and a 2-Day Class/Field (Part 2) course: You mu st attend *BOTH* Class and Field In-Person sessions to complete the 12U Coach License, No Exceptions.

AYSO Coach Training Equivalency
The AYSO Equivalency Policy recognizes US Soccer Coaching Certifications for those who have coached at the Club, High School or College level. If you hold a US Soccer Coaching License/Certification, you may apply for equivalency. US Soccer licenses transfer as follows...
Grassroots 4v4, equivalent to AYSO's 6/8U Coach eligible to participate in the 10U Coach course
Grassroots 7v7, equivalent to AYSO's 10U Coach eligible to participate in the 12U Coach course
Grassroots 9v9 AND 11v11 In-Person
, equivalent to AYSO's 12U Coach eligible to participate in the Intermediate Coach course
Older E License, equivalent to AYSO's Intermediate Coach eligible to participate in the Advanced Coach course
Older A-C & D (issued after 1/1/2013) Licenses, equivalent to AYSO's Advanced Coach eligible to take the National Coach course
See here for further details: AYSO Coach Training Equivalency, Contact: [email protected] if this applies to you to begin the application process. Please attach all licenses/certificates you would like to be considered under this policy. Also include a brief summary of your Player/Coaching experience in a resume-like format. Thank you.

Double Head Coaches:
You must be certified for each division you wish to coach. If you are coaching more than one division (example: 8U & 10U), you will need to complete the online course for each division. You will also enroll in each Field session (to receive credit) but only need to attend the higher division Field session. In this case, the 10U Field session to receive the certification for each division.

Download your Course Certificates: We highly recommend keeping a pdf copy of the certificate for each course you complete for your records. The AYSO registration and certification systems often experience data-loss. This is the only way you can provide proof of completion if this occurs.

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

Reminder:
You MUST complete the prerequisite Online Coach course before attending the In-Person Field Session / Part 2 course.

Make sure to read the course specific information for each course as each Region / Area / Section may do things differently and have specific requirements or deadlines to submit course materials. The information below was copied from the Training Event calendar but the details may have changed. Again, make sure you pay close attention to the course specific details prior to enrolling in a Training Event.

14U / Intermediate Coach Course


Prerequisites:
You must have completed the 12U Coach License and a season in-grade (12U) as a Head or Assistant Coach to be eligible to take the Intermediate Coach course. You must also complete the online course, AYSO's Summary of the Laws of the Game

The Intermediate Coach class has two components, the online Pre-Course (Part 1) and the (Part 2) In-Person course. You can do the Pre-Course work at any time, but it must be finished at least one week before the In-Person Course since all that work has to be turned in to the In-Person Course instructor. Without this work, the instructor is told by AYSO National not to let the coach take the course. The instructor needs time to go over your work and give you feedback.

The Training Plan

As part of the online Intermediate Coach (Part 1) course you will create a Training Plan. In most cases you will submit it to the instructor at least one week before the class. Each Instructor may do things differently so please read the course description in AYSOU to make sure you comply with the requirements.
