Canada Soccer offers three coaching courses tailored to different stages of player development, and our club will cover the cost for our volunteer coaches to obtain these certifications:
Fundamentals: For coaches of players aged 6-9. It covers fundamental soccer skills, physical literacy, and creating engaging sessions that balance learning and enjoyment.
Learn to Train: Targeted at coaches of players aged 9-12. It focuses on developing technical skills, tactical awareness, and fostering a love for the game in a structured environment.
Soccer for Life: Aimed at coaches working with players of any age beyond 13. This course emphasizes long-term participation, recreational soccer, and skill development, catering to diverse goals and playing contexts.
Each course consists of both online learning and an on-field practical component. The online portion takes roughly 2-3 hours, while the on-field session typically runs 3-4 hours, providing a comprehensive blend of theory and hands-on experience to prepare you for coaching.
