| AYSO Coach Certification Requirements |
|
AYSO requires all AYSO coaches to be properly trained and certified to coach AYSO players. This requirement was implemented to ensure a quality learning and development experience for the children of AYSO and to develop coach retention. For a volunteer to be eligible to coach in AYSO, they must complete the AYSO Safe Haven course and the age appropriate AYSO Coaching courses for the age(s) that they plan to coach.
AYSO Coach training is hierarchical, meaning that each course builds up to the next level / course. Here are the requirements for each level:
U6: coaches must complete Safe Haven and the AYSO U6 coach course.
U8: coaches must complete Safe Haven, AYSO U6 & U8 coach courses.
U10: coaches must complete Safe Haven, AYSO U6, U8 & U10 coach courses.
U12: coaches must complete Safe Haven, AYSO U6, U8, U10 & U12 coach courses.
U14: coaches must complete Safe Haven, AYSO U6, U8, U10, U12 & Intermediate coach courses.
U16 / U19: coaches must complete Safe Haven, AYSO U6, U8, U10, U12, Intermediate and Advanced coach courses.
National: coaches must complete Safe Haven, AYSO U6, U8, U10, U12, Intermediate, Advanced, and National coach courses
Many regions will require a coach to complete this certification before assigning a team. Beginning with the 2010 / 2011 season and going forward, teams must have a certified coach to be eligible to compete in Area R playoffs and Area R All-Star tournament. |

| USSF to AYSO Coach Cross-Certification |
|
At the present time the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) does not have a reciprocity equivalency agreement with any other soccer organization including the United States Soccer
Federation (USSF), the National Soccer Coaches Association of American (NSCAA) or the English Football
Association (FA). However, AYSO believes it is an important issue that must be explored. Therefore,
AYSO has created a reciprocity equivalency agreement for all coaches who hold a valid coaching license
issued by US Soccer and will explore options regarding other soccer organizations.
Please reference the the AYSO Reciprocity Equivalency Agreement document on the AYSO web site for details. |
