The National Youth License is designed to provide club directors of coaching, youth coaches, physical education teachers, and soccer administrators with the knowledge to successfully structure soccer environments for children aged 4-12.

 

The role of the coach as a facilitator is explored; the physical, mental and emotional needs and capabilities of players from 4-12 are explored; the lessons from developmental psychology are explored; and the art of teaching is explored. Candidates are videotaped for analysis during live training sessions. The requirement is a minimum of a US Soccer D License (state or national), or permission from the VYSA Coaching Education Director, Paul Shaw. For US Soccer "A" License coaches, you will receive 8 CEUs for taking this course.
