*ASSISTANT COACHES should make every effort to meet the same requirements as a Head Coach. All Assistant Coaches will be required to satisfy the requirements `1-5 as listed above. Head Coaches MUST submit for approval any person they would like as an Assistant Coach to the Regional Coach Administrator. No person shall act in the capacity of an Assistant without prior approval from the Regional Coach Administrator or Regional Commissioner.
Training Prerequisites. There is no prerequisite training required in order to take the Schoolyard, U-6, U-8, U-10 or U-12 courses. It is recommended that coaches taking these courses have previously completed the prior course, but it is not required.
On Line Training. AYSO offers online training courses for coaches. Coaches desiring Schoolyard, U-6, and U-8 coach certification can complete that course and obtain their certification on line. Coaches desiring U-10 or U12 coach certification can take an online course to learn the basics and then must attend a field session in order to complete certification. Coaches can take Safe Haven and CDC Concussion Awareness training and receive course certification online. All online training is available at www.aysou.org/. Access to these courses is limited to currently registered volunteers and an AYSO Volunteer ID number is required to access the course curriculum.
Field Session training. If you complete the U10 or U12 online classroom course you will still need to complete the U10 or U12 field portion to complete your Coach certification.
We hope to also offer some basic field sessions for the U6 and U8 coaches based on interest.
