National Youth License Course
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 4-12 years
old. Each day of the course, the focus is upon one of the traditional
soccer age groups of U6, U8, U10 or U12. Each day, children of the
appropriate age group are brought to the course site for the candidates
to work with them in a practice training session. The candidates are
videotaped while coaching the kids and the video is reviewed with each
candidate to aid in the education of the coach. The course combines
both classroom (theory) and field (practical) sessions. The course
concludes with written, oral and practical examinations. The National
Youth License course is six days in length, sometimes being held over
two weekends rather than 6 days in a row. It is ideal for anyone hoping
to become a better and more effective coach. Also, "A" license
coaches can earn 8 CEUs by completing the National Youth License course.
