A basic, introductory course for coaches, especially novices, of recreational, U-6 to U-10 players.

 

• The 8 hour "F" Course:

  A comprehensive, yet elemental course for coaches of young players up to U-12.

   

•  The 16 hour "E" Course:

  A more ambitious course to be taken after the 8 hour "F" course for coaches of players up to U-14, with more emphasis on 11-a-side soccer.

   

•  The 36 hour "D" course:

  Taken over several days, it is intended for coaches of players from 12-19.  It involves a more rigorous approach to coaching and prepares coaches to "train" their teams and actively improve their performance.  There are both written and performance tests for candidates.

   

•  The "C", "B", and "A" courses:

  These courses are one week long.  They are intensive courses for those who wish to refine their coaching expertise.  These courses involve written, oral, and performance tests.
