The US Youth Soccer Coach Training Track There are an estimated 17,582,000 soccer players in the U.S. and 7,881,000 of those players are under the age of 12. However, fewer than 20% of youth soccer coaches have received any type of training. Furthermore, recent studies show that more than 73% of all kids who play organized sports quit by the the age of 13.

In addition, there is one license course presented at the state level; the D License. To pass, a coach must attend the course in its entirety and participate in all of the sessions. Additionally the coach must pass the course examinations.
US Youth Soccer conducts the Y or National Youth License. The Y License focuses on the nature of children and the adjustments adults must make to coach them. The course curriculum covers four to twelve-year-olds. Each day of the course the focus is on one of the traditional soccer age groups - U6, U8, U10, and U12. And, each day children of the appropriate age-group are brought to the course site for the candidates to work with them in a practice training session. The candidates are videotaped while coaching the kids and the video is reviewed with each candidate to aid in the education of the coach. The course combines both classroom (theory) and field (practical) sessions. The course concludes with written, oral, and practical examinations. The Y License course is six days in length. Additionally US Youth Soccer offers continuing education for coaches through the Coaches Connection. Twice a month e-mails are sent to subscribers of the Coaches Connection. At the beginning of each month a Connection message is sent that includes sample lesson plans for the U6, U8, U10, and U12 age groups. In the middle of the month a Connection message is sent to subscribers that includes tips for administrators, coaches, parents, and referees. Subscribers of Coaches Connection may attend clinics offered by US Youth Soccer at a discount. Clinics for coaches, administrators, and referees are held at the annual US Youth Soccer adidas Workshop and Coaches Convention. Some of the best educators in youth soccer, from around the world, present clinics at this convention, which is held in a different region of the country. U. S.
