Coach Training Dates for 2026
Thanks for volunteering! Coach training provided by AYSO helps you be prepared for a fun and safe season with your team - each coach must complete the required coaching for their age group.
Important notes:
Training comprises of "classroom" based training, and in-person fieldwork. You must complete all pieces in order to gain your certification and your age-appropriate Coaching Badge.
