As part of our ongoing commitment to providing your child with the best possible soccer experience, Mountain View AYSO45 has partnered with UK International Soccer (UKIS) to assist us with bringing coaches to our clubs from The United Kingdom. UKIS runs a ‘Host A Coach’ program. https://www.uksoccer.com/host
Below is information about the program from Conner Biggs at UKIS. Please follow up with Conner directly.

================== Hello families,
I hope you are looking forward to the upcoming soccer season with AYSO Mountain View. We are excited for a fantastic season of soccer. My name is Connor and I am an Operations Manager at UK International and I wanted to make you aware that we have a number of our UK Coaches on the program this fall who are all very excited to meet everyone and have a fantastic fall season. Our UK Coaches during their stay in the US stay with host families and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in hosting one of the UK coaches on the Mountain View program? We are looking for host families from the 14th August - 30th September, it is not compulsory to host this whole time frame if you are unable to!
The following piece describes the hosting experience: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bringing-world-us-vikki-bowes-mok/
As the article touches on, UK Soccer's ‘Host A Coach’ program allows families the chance to learn all about another culture, while having a live-in specialist to enhance their soccer education. Getting to enjoy and appreciate the American lifestyle this way is also an incredible experience for us coaches! Our website will show you a little more: https://www.uksoccer.com/host
In turn for hosting, you receive:
- A FREE private 1-on-1 coaching session for your child each week.
- A FREE place/reimbursement for your child on any UKIS soccer camp of your choice - for every month that a coach stays, you are eligible for another free UKIS camp place/reimbursement.
- A FREE recreational soccer season (or subsidised competitive season) place/reimbursement for your child if you are able to host the coach for the duration of the program.
Requirements for hosting a coach:
- Just a private place to sleep, plus access to washing facilities.
- There is no expectation for you to provide food, although you are always welcome to invite the coach to join you for meals.
- There is no expectation for you to provide transport, as all coaches have access to it.
- A minimum hosting time of 2 weeks (maximum can be as long as you like).
**All UK International Soccer Coaches are vaccinated against COVID-19, thoroughly vetted, and background-checked.**
If you have any questions or are interested or know anyone who is interested please reach out to me on connor[email protected] or my cell number (669) 292-9767. All of us at UK International Soccer are very grateful to all the kind families which open their doors to our coaches, please do reach out if you have any questions and thank you for taking the time to read this email.
Kind Regards,
Connor
