SO YOU WANT TO BECOME A COACH...?
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! We 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. A good idea is to start out as an Assistant Coach for a season. This gives you a chance to work with an experienced coach and get some on-the-job training. Then, by the next season, you will have gained in skill and confidence and will be ready to be the Coach.
