Grade K-8 Coaches,
WUSC strongly requests that all coaches and assistant coaches take the progression of USYSA/Mass. Youth Soccer Coach License Courses. We are moving to a position where these will be mandatory for all of our coaches, with the goal of having this strong foundation of coaching philosophy and coaching skills available to all of our players. Even if you have playing experience, these courses offer valuable coach training. The coaching pathway has been changed this season, the F and E license's being replaced by Grassroots license's for different game formats - 4v4, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11. After this you can apply for the US Soccer D license. Below is a summary of the license courses and the details on upcoming courses in the local area. The cost of the courses will be reimbursed by WUSC.
