EXTRA COACH ELIGIBILITY

Are you interested in coaching at a more competitive level of play?  Check out our EXTRA Program!

Benefits of Coaching an AYSO Extra Team:

1. Professional Trainers and Player Development: Each Extra team’s registration fees include access to professional trainers during the regular season to help our players develop technical skills, tactical abilities and fitness levels that set a clear path toward achieving realistic goals and realizing potential, while having fun and learning the game of soccer.
2. Year-Round Play:  Coach your Extra team throughout the calendar year.  In addition to competing in the Fall season, Extra teams will continue training / competing in Spring season and summer tournaments as desired.
3.  Coach Mentoring:  Extra Coaches have access to coordinate practice-session plans with Professional Trainers.
4.  Everyone Plays:  All players are guaranteed to play 1/2 of the game, but in the regular season, all players must play 3 quarters before players play 4.
5.  Positive Coaching:  All coaches must be certified and experienced, as well as positive, instructive and encouraging with the players.
6.  Well-Trained, Quality Referees:  Referee teams are mindful of player safety and love of the game.
7.  Committed Players: Players are selected through a tryout process to ensure that the skill and level of commitment is at a competitive level.

REQUIRED COACHING CERTIFICATIONS: Clear Background check, Safe Haven, CDC Concussion, Division Specific Coaching Certification, Division Specific Coaching Certification (one additional level) and Regional Referee Certification.
