The National Youth License, a U.S. Soccer course, focuses upon the nature of children and the adjustments adults must make to coach them. The course curriculum covers the ages of 6-12 years old. Each day of the course, the focus is upon one of the traditional soccer age groups of U6, U8, U10 or U12. The course combines both classroom (theory) and field (practical) sessions. The course concludes with written, oral and practical examinations. It is ideal for anyone hoping to become a better and more effective coach to take this course. We hope to see you in June.
