COACHES TRAINING
Area C (of which our Region 190 is a part) is sponsoring two different
training opportunities this summer to achieve your proper age level
certification as well as advance your skills as a coach. The first, and
most important, is the Referee and Coach Super Camp that is being held
on August 21-23, 2009 at the Warren Community Center. This camp is being
taught by certified AYSO instructors, and will provide you with the
required certification to coach at the proper level. In AYSO, coaching
certification progresses as follows:
All Coaches - Coaches Safe Haven Training (available on-line to
registered volunteers)
U-6 Coach
U-8 Coach
U-10 Coach
U-12 Coach
Intermediate Coach (for U-14 and up)
Advanced Coach
Depending on the level if certification that you need, you will attend a
portion or all of the Fri-Sun training session. It is possible to take
training higher than you currently need in order to be prepared for
future coaching levels. But you are at least required to be certified to
the level that you will coach in the Fall 2009. There is a $20
registration fee, which will be reimbursed by AYSO Region 190 upon
completion of the course. Contact me for proper procedure for
reimbursement. Download the Coaches & Referee Clinic flyer by clicking
here.
If you are already certified as a coach to the appropriate level, please
consider taking the Referee Training instead. This is also a requirement
of our Region 190, as all coaches need to fully understand the Laws of
the Game in order to have the knowledge to teach their players.
Reimbursement for this course can be handled through the Regional
Referee Administrator.
Additionally, Area C is offering the Coaches Edge series again this year
on July 24-26, 2009 (Fri-Sun). This training is geared towards those
coaches who want to expand the skills and repertoire, and be able to
teach their players the finer points of the game. Note that this is NOT
a certification course, and cannot be used in place of proper AYSO
coaches certification. This course is free, though, and open to anyone
in our Region. Download the Coaches Edge flyer by clicking
here.
If you are interested in participating in either of these courses,
please complete the attached form and return to the contact listed (not
to me!). However, I would like to be aware of who takes the
certification training so I can update my records upon completion.
