Course Descriptions:
Goalkeeping Level I Diploma
"Team Coaches"
The overall objective of the Goalkeeping Level I Diploma is to explore some of the myths and mystiques surrounding the goalkeeping function. The six-hour course is directed towards the team coach - not the specialist goalkeeper coach. The object is to empower the coach with knowledge and practice methods that will enable the coach to evaluate a goalkeeper in game situations and then design an appropriate practice program for goalkeepers in and outside of team practices. The course includes lecture (theory) and field (practical) sessions.

Goalkeeping Level II Diploma
"Specialized goalkeeper and team coaches looking for in-depth knowledge about training goalkeepers"
The overall objective of the Goalkeeping Level II Diploma is to create an optimal learning environment for this specialized position. The 12-hour course is geared towards the specialist goalkeeping coach and the team coach looking for in-depth information surrounding the coaching of goalkeepers. The course includes both lecture (theory) and field (practical) sessions. An NSCAA Goalkeeping Level I Diploma is a prerequisite for this course.

Goalkeeping Level III Diploma
"Tactical role of the goalkeeper within the team framework"
The overall objective of the Goalkeeping Level 3 Diploma is to explore the tactical components of goalkeeping and the specifics of training and developing goalkeepers. The emphasis of this eighteen-hour course is on the tactical role of the goalkeeper within the team framework. All candidates wishing to take the Goalkeeping Level 3 Diploma must hold the Goalkeeping Level 1 and 2 Diplomas or equivalent (NSCAA/USSF Level 1 and Level 2 Diplomas).

Coach Certification Prerequisites

	To get the certification...	You must already hold:
	Safe Haven Coach	Nothing
	U6 Coach	Nothing
	U8 Coach	Nothing
	U10 Coach	Nothing
	U12 Coach	Nothing
	Intermediate Coach	U12 Coach
	Advanced Coach	Intermediate Coach
	National Coach	Advanced Coach
The prerequisite certification must be compeleted prior to attending the desired class.
The U6-U12 and Safe Haven certifications may be taken in any order.
The U12, intermediate, advanced and national certifications must be taken in order.

Assistant Coaches
Requirements to be listed on the roster and receive an coach ID card as an assistant coach are identical to those listed above to be the team head coach.

Safe Haven Coach certification
All AYSO Coaches must complete the Safe Haven certification. This ensures that the well-being of the child is placed first, the philosophies of AYSO are understood and teaches the coaches risk management to avoid putting themselves in positions hazardous to themselves and the children. It is also part of the requirements to be covered under the Volunteer Protection Act.

Age-Specific Training - U6, U8, U10 & U12 Coach certifications
These four coaching courses focus on working with the player in these age divisions to create a fun learning environment. Coaches in U6, U8, U10 & U12 must have the age specific coach certification for the age they are coaching. There are no substitutes nor will higher level courses satisfy the requirement. These courses have no pre-requisite and may be taken individually or in any order.

Intermediate, Advanced and National Coach certifications
These upper level courses build upon each other, thus a coach with the Advanced Coach certification may also coach teams needing only the Intermediate Coach certification. However, these do not confer the age-specific certification needed to coach U6-U12. A coach who holds an Intermediate Coach or above certification and wishes to coach in U10, must also hold a U10 Coach certification. U14 coaches must have at least the Intermediate Coach certification. U16 and U19 coaches must have the Advanced Coach certification. The National Coach certification is for coaches who desire to further advance their skills and offer a greater level of support to their region.

Cross certification from USSF
For coaches who hold a USSF license and a substantial coaching history, cross certification is available. Unfortunately, we do not offer cross certification from NSCAA diplomas, FA levels or other organizations at this time. Coaches with the USSF Youth Modules may apply for U6-U12 certification. Those holding a USSF 'E' license may apply for the intermediate certificate, and those holding a USSF 'D' license or higher may apply for the advanced certificate. Applicants must be recommended by the Regional Commissioner and the area and section coach administrators before the application packet is sent to the AYSO National office to be approved by the AYSO National Coach. Please contact your Regional Coach Administrator for more information. The full procedure is described in the AYSO Reciprocity Equivalency Agreement.

Registration: For all classes please visit the listed website for more details, registration, and contact information. Pre-registration is not required unless specified. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled at the class start time or a couple of days before. Unless otherwise noted, please sign up for the class in advance through eayso.org. Eayso.org has been upgraded. If you are using Internet Explorer (70% of visitors) the browser often encounters an error and terminates, although FireFox has been working. We hope they fix this soon.

Location: It is normally advantageous to attend a course offered in your own region, as the class will be closer, you will have more opportunity to meet coaches in your city, and will get region-specific information about your region’s policies and practices. You may attend any AYSO course anywhere to receive coach training and certification.

Cost: Many classes have a fee associated with them. For AYSO classes within Area Q: These fees are for those volunteers from outside Area Q. If you are a volunteer from outside Area Q, please bring a check (no cash please) made out to "AYSO Area 11-Q" or to the region conducting the training. Area Q volunteers do not need to bring a check for any training within the area as all regions have agreed to pay directly any costs of their volunteers attending AYSO classes within the area. Area Q volunteers are those from one of the regions listed on our Area Q Regions page.

Be aware that to be covered under the Volunteer Protection Act you must be certified and trained by attending at least two classes: (1) Safe Haven Certification and (2) Age specific training. For example, if you coach in a U7 or U8 division you must attend a U8 course, a U12 course will only cover those coaching in U12. Also note that an intermediate or advanced certificate does not confer all lower age-specific certifications. Therefore a coach who holds a U12 and intermediate certificate and wishes to coach U10, must then get a U10 certificate. Most regions hold to this as minimum coaching requirements.

For questions please contact any member of the Area Q coaching staff.
