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! AYSO 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.
To become an AYSO coach, you must be certified in the age level you are coaching. Certification a few easy steps.

4- Attend the class that you registered for.
You will then be certified to coach for this age group.
5- You will then be put in contact with our Coach Administrator. You will be given a code and access to training site.
The online site will provide an Information Kit and Manuals that will prepare you for coaching sessions.
Coaches are essential to the game. They teach children soccer skills and help develop a healthy, positive attitude, teamwork and good sportsmanship. Coaching is a rewarding experience because you have the opportunity to build a child's self-esteem, help them learn new skills and just have a lot of fun.
If you haven't done this already, contact your Region's Coach Administrator or Regional Commissioner if you are ready to become a coach.
