Coaching Courses

The CYSA Coaching Program is described at http://www.cysanorth.org/Coaching/CYSACoachingProgram.pdf

Among other things, these coaching courses help a coach understand his players, provide a teaching framework, and provide information that will make coaching and playing soccer more enjoyable.

It is highly recommended that new coaches take the “F” Course, as a tremendous amount of valuable information is provided which will make coaching much easier and more effective!  AVYSL requires that all Comp and Select (Division 3 and Division 1) coaches must be licensed in accordance with the CYSA coaching license policy, and all Academy coaches need to have an “F” license (minimum).

All AVYSL coaches and assistant coaches must have attended a Positive Coaching Alliance Coaches workshop.  Check the AVYSL PCA pages at http://www.almadensoccer.org/pca/index_E.html to find when the next workshop will be offered.

Other coaching courses offered through CYSA are listed at http://www.cysanorth.org/Coaching/coaching_courses.htm
