icon Coaching Courses Offered updated image

Region 13 will be offering the AYSO U10 and U12 coaching courses on Sunday, January 11 (tine and place to be announced). With regard to the upcoming '08-'09 post-season, the U10 certification will be required of all U8 Grad Series coaches, while the U12 cert (at a minimum) is required to coach U10 All-Stars. This is also a great opportunity for coaches to get their training requirements for next season taken care of ahead of time, so as not to have to worry about fitting it in over the busy summer. The U10 certification is required to coach regional U10, and the U12 cert is required to coach regional U12/U14 as well as U10 YDP.

Section 1 is offering the AYSO Intermediate (INT) and Advanced (ADV) coaching courses on Fri-Sat-Sun, December 12-13-14 in Riverside (see flyer), and Area 11Q is offering the INT course on January 2-3-4 in Tustin. These are three-day courses starting on Friday evening and continuing through part or all of Sunday. Region 13 will reimburse the cost of the course. Note that INT requires that a coach already have the U12 certification, while ADV requires that a coach already have the INT certification.

Region 13 requires at least the INT certification to coach YDP, All-Stars, and tournaments at the U12 and U14 levels, as well as Upper Division (U16/19), and the ADV certification is preferred to coach sectional All-Stars, as well as Upper Division (U16/U19). If you are interested in coaching advanced play next season, or simply in expanding your coaching capabilities, consider taking the INT or ADV course now instead of waiting for a hot summer weekend.

Commissioner's Corner

photo of Marco QuezadaHope you have had a great summer! As you were vacationing this summer, we have been working on a few things. I would like to bring your attention to a few numbers.

With summer coming to an end and another soccer season upon us, (our 37th season), we have completed the first step in playing, registration. Our Region 13 volunteers have worked diligently this spring and have been registering for nearly 50 hours on 8 different occasions and have registered nearly 3400 players and 1300 volunteers. As one of the largest regions in the United States, this is no small task. A heartfelt thank you to our Registrar, CVPA and their many volunteers, everyone in the region appreciates all the hard work.

This summer with all the information gathered we have formed more than 300 teams, with more than 600 coaches and assistant coaches as well as tried to identify 500+ referees. Every one of these volunteers will have been certified in their specific discipline and will have taken one or more of the 50+ classes taught by our volunteers annually. The development of these volunteers is vital to maintaining a quality program. Your children learn from these volunteers. Thank you to the ref and coaching staff for their hard work in completing their responsibilities as well as all of the instructors who spent more than 20 days teaching.

All of these volunteers have spent countless hours in preparing for the season and have done it for the most important number, the number your child wears on his or her jersey this coming season. Step up and thank them, any one of the volunteers you will meet throughout the year, more importantly become one of them, we need to add to those numbers.
