Coach Training

All coaches AND assistant coaches must complete AYSO age-appropriate coach training. Once you are certified at an age level, you will not need to take the training again in subsequent seasons. If you have training for an older division, you are eligible to coach any younger divisions.

  • Online self-study training module

• 10U

  • Online self-study training module

  • On the field training session

• 12U / 14U

10U and 12U field sessions will be offered after the Coaches Meeting (8/23), but you may also enroll in a training session offered by any AYSO region (see below for instructions on how to find/enroll).
