Coach Training Observation

Have you wondered what coach training is about? Or maybe you're a parent with a new player to AYSO soccer and you're interested in what coaches learn. You could be a Team Parent that helps out each season, but not sure how to quite help the coach. Maybe you want to become a coach and need training. 

We would like to invite you to join us at any coaching course session we offer. There will be no pressure. This is not an attempt to recruit. This is purely a time of observation to show you how coaches are a mentor to our young players. You are welcome to ask questions during the course session along with those training to be a coach. You can even kick a soccer ball or two if you like. 

You do not need to sign up for anything prior to the course session you would like to attend. Just show up! Bring your players and they can help us! Please come out, we look forward to seeing you!
