COACH TRAINING CHECKLIST
Without Volunteer Coaches There Are No Teams

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! AYSO 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.

To become an AYSO coach or Assistant Coach, you must be certified in the age level you are coaching. Certification takes a few easy steps. First, pick the position that you want to volunteer for on your Sports Connect account (same account you register your player). Then complete the required training & background checks.
