AYSO Region 13

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.
