The CYSA Coaching School is a service for the volunteer coach. The purpose of the School is to educate, promote and stimulate your interest in youth soccer. The educational procedure of our school is established by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) which mandates that all coaches, regardless of background, follow the educational steps from “F” through National “D”, without skipping a level. It is also required that the information be used for one full season before proceeding to the next course.
