Becoming a Coach



How to Become a Canyon Country AYSO Coach

AYSO National rules say that each coach must be certified AT THE LEVEL HE OR SHE INTENDS TO COACH IN.  This makes sense, right?  We want to make sure our kids are being coached by people who have taken the time to learn how to teach soccer!

For that reason, all assistant coaches must also take the coaching clinics, in case they need to cover for the team coach.  And these clinics are open to team managers as well.  It’s fun and educational!

Getting certified is easy; it will only take a few hours of your time. It will give you a chance to connect with your fellow  Canyon Country AYSO coaches and administrators. And it WILL make you a better coach!

The clinics are designed to be quick, easy, and fun to take - even for those with no prior soccer experience at all.  And for those former Premier League players who have turned to AYSO coaching in their retirement, come learn what is age-appropriate for your team.   Training does make a difference and everyone can learn something, right?

If you have NEVER signed up to become a coach, follow these instructions:

 

  • STEP 1 – Complete your volunteer application.

Log in to our Region 677.org ( Sports Connect Registration ) and select "Register", (top right)

Complete the volunteer application, indicating that you wish to volunteer as "Head Coach" or “Assistant Coach”.

E-mail [email protected] so we know you are doing this process and will be attending the class. 

 

  • STEP 2 – Complete Safe Haven certification

Log into ayso677.org and then access the “AYSOU” tab. Log in through the link toward the bottom “AYSO SSO” with the same log in and password used for “ayso677.org”.

Click on "My Courses" to see a list of online courses, and then click on the AYSO’s Safe Haven course.

PRINT your certificate and bring it with you to coach training.

 

  • STEP 3 – Complete Concussion Awareness certification

Log into ayso677.org and then access the “AYSOU” tab. Log in through the link toward the bottom “AYSO SSO” with the same log in and password used for “ayso677.org”.

Click on "My Courses" to see a list of online courses, and then click on the CDC Concussion course.

PRINT your certificate and bring it with you to coach training.

 
 STEP 4 – Sign up for training and attend the course.

Log into ayso677.org and then access the “AYSOU” tab. Log in through the link toward the bottom “AYSO SSO” with the same log in and password used for “ayso677.org”.

Click on "My Courses" to see a list of online courses.

Click on the Instructor Led Courses and then OPEN.

Click on Coach Led Instructor Courses and then select Sessions.

Select and Register for the applicable Training Class.

Again, you do not have to be a soccer expert to come and learn how to teach kids to play the game. We will teach you. 

It is highly recommended that you seek certification as early as possible. 

Thank you for volunteering. The kids (and I) appreciate it.
