Coaching Clinics

When you decide to become a coach in AYSO your efforts are supported by one of the most complete training programs there is. Depending on the age of the players you have decided to coach you will need to be trained for that level. You may already know how to coach at that age level but in order to certify you for that level AYSO will need the paper work as proof. Besides you may learn something new or a better way of teaching something you know. 

Coaching Certification

The requirements for coaching does come with some requirements. In order to coach in AYSO you must be certified. This means you must attend the coaches clinic designed for your level. You must also have completed the previous levels starting with beginning. As part of this training you will have learned about "Safe Haven" and the "Philosophies" of AYSO. All of these things will help support you efforts as a coach and make the soccer experience for the children Safe, Fair, and Fun.
