To Be A Coach

To be an AYSO coach, you must be a volunteer for the membership year and be properly trained/certified.

Step 1 - Apply to volunteer online

Apply to volunteer on www.aysoregion195.org
Just like we register the kids every year, we need you to re-register yourself to coach. This triggers a background check to make sure all is OK, and is why the system needs SSN.
Be sure you complete the background check process. You will receive an email from Sterling Volunteers with a link to do this.

Step #2 - Complete AYSO's Safe Haven, Concussion, and Cardiac Arrest Training on AYSOU, the AYSO online education portal
AYSOU features an online learning catalog filled with courses needed to become AYSO certified in disciplines ranging from coach education to referee training to management instruction. Here you will be able to access your online learning materials at your own pace, instantly obtain certification and revisit course content at any time. Some courses also include a supplemental eBook for which there is a nominal fee.

Login and take the training courses. One-time, not each year.

Step #3 - Complete online Coach Training on AYSOU

Login and take the course. Training is due prior to coaching at each level.

Step #4 - Attend Live Coaching Training for 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U or 14U (Intermediate) - register on AYSOU

Attend the live training for your child's division. It's only a few hours but it will equip you to deal with children and teach them soccer consistent with their age.

Step #5 - Complete SafeSport Training, link on your volunteer page. Here's a How-To if you need help.
Follow the link to take the course. This course needs to be renewed every few years. You will be alerted at the appropriate time.
