NYS fully supports it's coaches in their development and actively encourages them to participate in coaching courses and clinics. NYS coaches who complete any course and/or qualifications that aid their development towards becoming a better coach will be reimbursed for the cost of said course.
U.S. Soccer recently announced
eight (8) new grassroots level coaching courses. The In-person 4v4, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11 courses were officially launched on February 1st 2018.These courses will focus on empowering coaches through experiential learning and a player-centered approach. The courses relate directly to small-sided games and the respective age-groups outlined in the
Player Development Initiatives. Online versions of the 4v4, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11 courses will be made available by US Soccer on their Digital Coaching Center platform later this year.
In addition to the eight (8) new grassroots license course opportunities, the D course has also been updated in accordance with the revamped approach at the grassroots level.
Concurrently with the rollout of the new courses, the current F and E courses will transition out of the U.S. Soccer Coaching Pathway. These licenses will still be recognized by U.S. Soccer and both certifications remain relevant as a means to advance within the pathway.
