SO YOU WANT TO BECOME A COACH...?

Coaching children is a very rewarding experience and coaching your own child's team can be one of the most rewarding experiences of all! Coaches are pivotal to having children get the AYSO experience. If Regions don't have enough coaches, registration is scaled back and kids who want to play in AYSO are turned away.

Do you have little or no experience with soccer? No problem! We will teach you, based on the age level you are coaching. Unique age-appropriate coach training is one of AYSO's specialties. If you plan to be at your child's soccer practices and games, you'll also have time to be your child's coach.

Below are the general required Coaching certifications for each age level:

Division	Required Certification
U6	U6 Coach
U8	U8 Coach
U10	U10 Coach
U12	U12 Coach
U14	Intermediate Coach
U16/U19	Advanced Coach
