Utah to host National Coaching License Course

The Utah Soccer Association is pleased to announce that we have committed to host the entry level "National Coaching License - Level I course of the newly USSF/USASA Coaching Education courses which is specifically designed for the adult coach, manager or player.  Although similar to the current “D” and “E” License courses taught by the youth Associations.  In this particular program, USASA will be offering the USASA National Coaching  Licenses, Level I and Level II. 

Both courses are approved and recognized by US Soccer and upon completion of the USASA National License  - Level II course, successful candidates are eligible to advance to the USSF “C” License.  Both licenses will contain similar content as the current “D” and “E” License courses in preparation for the USSF “C” License, however the USASA National Coaching License courses will specifically focus on adult team coaching and management.   Coaching License candidates must complete the USASA National Coaching License – Level I course in order to eligible for the USASA  National Coaching License – Level II course.  These two License courses are not taught at the local level and are taught by USSF/USASA approved National “A” License instructors.

For those of you who currently are managing one of our teams within the State Association, we highly recommend taking these courses.  Additionally any player thinking about wanting to know more about the details of the game and possibly being interested in coaching/administrating in the future should seriously consider taking the courses. 

We will be hosting the USASA National Coaching License – Level I course which is tentatively planned for the July, 2012 time frame.  It will consist of 26 hours of education and testing to be done on Friday evening and all day Saturday & Sunday.  The cost of the USASA National Coaching License Level I course will be $1750.00 for  the participant and until the course dates are firmly set, our office will accept electronic commitments by accessing our e-mail address at utahsoccer@aol.com .   There is limited space for this course to balance instructor/participant ratio, so we highly recommend that you place your reservation early, as it will be on a "first come/first served basis."   Once the dates are confirmed we will supply the proper registration information as that will be handled through the USASA National Office. 

Currently there is no deadline to register for this course as a fixed date has not been set yet.  However, once the course date has been determined we anticipate that the registration deadline will fall toward the end of June.  If you have further questions, please contact Bill at our office – phone: 801-263-8166
