Rivertowns United Travel Coaches Have Both WYSL and AYSO Prerequisites

Rivertowns United travel teams participate in the Westchester Youth Soccer League (WYSL). The WYSL requires every coach and assistant coach to have a coach pass. Coach passes attest that coaches have completed all the WYSL requirements and met the league's standards, and they need to be re-issued every year.

Rivertowns United FC is the travel offshoot of the very robust Rivertowns AYSO (Region 324) core program. Rivertowns United travel teams are not AYSO core teams, but from a legal perspective, the travel program exists under AYSO 324. Because of this affiliation, Rivertowns United travel coaches need to fulfill AYSO requirements as well.

The WYSL and AYSO requirements are worthy in that their intention includes the safety and well-being of our youth players and training standards for the coaches, but keeping track of everything can be a bit overwhelming for new coaches; returning coaches have it easier.

The PDF summarizes the travel coach requirements. For new coaches, start soon, and do it step by step. For returning coaches, just take care of business.  TIP: Create an email folder and store all email receipts there.
