Hello Coaches,
If you are not able to attend the course sessions that are offered by Region 65 or Area G (Intermediate or Advanced), you MUST find another Training Event in AYSOU to complete the Coach License training for the Division you are coaching. You MUST complete the prerequisite Online courses 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.
Please contact: [email protected] if you have any questions.

Intermediate Coach Course20th Jul 2024 8:00am - 5:00pm [America/Los Angeles]
La Salle College Preparatory High School, E Sierra Madre Blvd, Pasadena CA
Instructor: Marco Quezada
The Intermediate Coach Class has two portions. There is the Pre-Course work and the Live Course work. The two courses are not tied to each other. You can do the Pre-Course work at any time, but it must be finished at least one week before the Live Course you will take since all that work has to be turned in to the Live Course instructor. Without this work, the instructor is told by National not to let the coach take the course. The instructor needs time to go over your work and give you feedback.
Parts I & II of Intermediate Coaching must be completed before the class.
You must also do a “Training Plan” and submit it to me no later than one week before the class.
Towards the end of Part II, under Menu, there is “Intermediate Training Session,” which takes you through 3 pages about the plans. “AYSO Training Plan” starts to tell you what to do to create this plan. “Drafting Your Training Plan” helps you understand how to do it. “Field Session Topics” is the slide that tells you the four possible subjects of your training plan that you have to create. You cannot just do any subject. You have to choose one of those four subjects.
Please follow the directions carefully. Again, there are training plans in the book that correspond to each of the topics in the online module. I understand that some of you have training sessions you have been using and liking, but if you use one of those, be prepared to indicate which of the assigned topics yours is and how each of the stages in your session fulfills the requirements as spelled out in the module.
Please note that participating in the classroom and field sessions is impossible without completing the pre-course work.
Intermediate Lesson Plans:
In the “Intermediate Coach Pre-course Part II” presentation, there is a slide called “Field Session Topics” that you can access from the “Menu on the left side of the plan.” Towards the bottom is a slide called “Field Session Topics” this slide tells you your lesson plan has to be one of the 12 topics from the slide. Four blue markers on this page cover four general areas (Goalkeeping, Defending, Midfield, and Attacking). The markers will expand to cover three topics if you click on the markers.
The 12 topics are:
Goalkeeping
Dealing with 1v1
Shot stopping (including diving)
Dealing with crosses
Defending
Individual Defending
Zonal Defending
Defending Principles of Play
Midfield
Receiving and turning
Combination Plays
Build up through midfield
Attacking
Attacking from wide areas
Finishing
Attacking Principles of Play
You cannot decide to do a subject not from this list. I will return your assignment if it is not from this list. Also, the lesson plan has to be on the same topic and go through the build-up process as explained in the book and the presentations.
Training plans must be emailed to Marco Quezada (rcregion13@gmail.com) by Saturday, July 13th.
WHAT TO BRING:
NOTEPAD + PEN OR PENCIL
· COPY OF YOUR TRAINING PLAN
Please bring sunscreen, athletic clothing, a hat, a chair, a pen/pencil, and closed-toed shoes you are comfortable running around in (no flip-flops).

This class actually has a grading scale for it in regards to your passing the course. There is prework to be done. I need it at least two weeks before the class as I have to review what you sent me and make comments. When you finish Modules I and II you can print out the “Intermediate Coach Certificate” to email it to me along with your Training Plan. I will also need a print out from your list of classes taken, showing that you took the 12U coach class. I also need you to send me proof that you took Safe Haven and CDC Concussion. There are points for all of these requirements. To get to your Skills Passport click on that at your Volunteer page in SportsConnect. You can print your skills passport as a downloadable PDF by clicking on the button at the upper right.

Based on your match analysis, you also need to develop a complete “4 Stage Training Session” to address the issue you wrote on using AYSO diagramming standards. Follow the directions in regards to submitting it to me 2 weeks before the class. This is building on the work you did in the Intermediate Coach Class, if you took the class in the last four years. If you took the Intermediate Coach Class longer than 4 years ago, you should open up the Intermediate Coach Pre-Course work and review the Training Session Material which you did not get in the course over 4 years ago.
Now you have 2 more modules to complete. Back at the “My Courses” tab there are two free courses that need to be completed,
“AYSO’s Safe Haven”, and “CDC: Concussion Course”. These two modules are 10% of your grade.
