Coach Checklist
For those of you who have signed up to be a coach, you need to do the following to be ready:
1 • Register as an AYSO volunteer (an annual requirement) at www.eAYSO.org.
2 • Take AYSO Safe Haven training for Coaches (a one-time requirement).
3 • Attend the Coaches Meeting in early June.
4 • The training is a two part program: coaches need to attend an in-class and an on-field session for the level they are coaching in order to be certified.
5 • If you are volunteering to be a Head Coach and you want someone special to be your assistant, please see the FAQ question on how to do this.
Coach Certification / Training Policy
Effective August 1, 2009, AYSO National's new coach certification / training policy went into effect. The policy requires all coaches and assistant coaches who wish to coach in the National Games, concurrent secondary play competitions or nationally sanctioned AYSO tournaments to be trained at the level of the team they coach. The impact on this for Hillsborough Region 110 is that achieving these levels of training will be highly encouraged and U12, U14, U16 and U19 teams which are coached by coaches that are not certified will not be eligible to participate in the area tournaments should they qualify.In order for coaches to become trained, coaches must complete BOTH a classroom and an on‐field training session to become certified. On training days wear soccer attire and bring water and sunblock for on‐field training.
Please Pre-Register for the Region 110 course you plan on attending
1 • Look up the course you want to attend on our Coaches Training Calendar
