COACHING LICENSE PATHWAY

Florida Youth Soccer Association & U.S. Soccer are committed to providing all coaches, from beginner to advanced, with education tailored to their experiences and the needs of their players. The Coaching License Pathway consists of a series of courses designed to meet the specific needs of a coach at every step of the way. U.S. Soccer believes education is a journey, and our goal is to provide the necessary tools, guidance, and mentorship a coach requires.


All registration for U.S. Soccer courses is completed through the U.S. Soccer Learning Center (LC). The Florida Youth Soccer Association can conduct B, C, D, and Grassroots Level Courses at your Club. If you are interested in hosting a Coaching Course at your Club and want to find out what the requirements are then please contact our FYSA Coaching Education Department by Clicking Here.

Student Coaches for the U.S. Soccer Grassroots Courses can register for multiple courses being held at the same site location, if they wish. For example, if you want to apply for both the U.S. Soccer Grassroots 7v7 and 11v11 being hosted at the same club on the same day but at different times then you can go ahead and register for both courses.

Student Coaches interested in registering for the U.S. Soccer D Course must have the following pre-requisites – Every Coach Learner must have completed the FREE Introduction to Grassroots Coaching Online Course in the Learning Center and either the old U.S. Soccer E-License or 2 x U.S. Soccer Grassroots In-Person Courses (1 of which must be the 11v11) as well as 1 x U.S. Soccer Grassroots Online Course. You will not be able to register for a D Course without meeting these pre-requisites!


US Soccer Grassroots Licenses

The US Soccer Grassroots Licenses are 4 separate and distinct courses offer to coaches of grassroots players a variety of education entry points based upon ages and corresponding game models specified by the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiative that include 4v4, 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11. These course offerings can be completed entirely online or in a hybrid (virtual and in-person) format.

In order to register for any US Soccer Grassroots Course, you will need to open a free account with the US Soccer Learning Center. After creating an account, you will need to complete the free 20-minute Introduction to Grassroots Coaching before you can register for these courses.
