T-CYSA Coach Education
What's New
Candidate Manuals for E and D Courses
US Soccer has placed PDF versions of the
Candidate Manuals for the E and D courses on its
website.
Spring 2009 Coaching Courses
D Class 2009
T-CYSA is hosting the following coaching courses
this spring.
Note 1:
The D class sessions 4/25 and 4/26 may finish later than 5pm
if extra time is needed for testing.
General Information
To pass a course,
you must attend the entire course.
These are participatory courses,
so come dressed and ready to play.
Bring a notepad, pen, water, and a soccer ball.
Brief descriptions of the courses appear below.
Cost
For courses requiring a fee,
checks (made payable to "T-CYSA")
will be collected at the start of the course.
T-CYSA coaches do not need to submit checks
because T-CYSA pays the fee for them.
How to Register
PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!
If less than a minimum number of coaches register
by the "Register By" date listed above,
WSYSA will cancel the course.
If enough people register early enough
to meet the minimum enrollment requirement,
the "Register By" column will show "OPEN"
and you can continue to register
after the original "Register By" date;
you can even register on site when the class starts
if there are spots available.
If the class fills up before it starts,
the "Register By" column will show "FULL".
To register for one or more of these courses,
email the following information to the T-CYSA
VP of Development:
- which course you want to register for
- which organization you coach for (T-CYSA or other)
- your first name
- your last name
- your date of birth

If you do not have access to email,

and presents activities and games
that are developmentally appropriate.
-

wanting to coach at the Premier or District Select levels
to complete the E and D coaching courses.
For more information regarding these and other advanced clinics,
see the
state
or
national
websites.
-
E Certificate Course (18 hours)
The emphasis of the E course
is on coaching players 10-14 years of age.
It is a general certificate of 11-a-side play
and is intended for those coaches
who are in the transitional stage
from coaching modified soccer
to coaching 11v11 soccer.
The course is best suited for those coaches
with several years of experience
or who have attended one or more of the
youth module courses.
The E course focuses on coaching points
and the teaching of technique,
with an introduction to the Principles of Play
(attack and defense).
The E course also provides elementary information
on the management and preparation of a team.
The E course requires one weekend:
Friday night and all day Saturday and Sunday.
-
D License Course (36 hours)
Note:
You must have passed the E class
in order to attend the D class,
unless you meet certain criteria and apply for an
E license waiver
from WSYSA.
The attendees of a D course
fall into two distinct categories:
coaches who are using the course to prepare
for the National C License
and those who are using the course to qualify
for a particular level of coaching.
Many of the latter are not required
to further upgrade their license.
In addressing coaches in these two categories,
the D course can be seen as either preparatory or terminal.
The D course is for coaching players 14-18 years of age
and emphasizes observing mistakes
and providing information to correct the mistakes.
A majority of the course schedule is devoted to
practice coaching and practical examinations.
Candidates are examined
by the analysis of video footage
for their knowledge and understanding
of tactics and methodology.
There are also take-home examinations on
soccer injury prevention and the FIFA Laws of the Game.
Based on how well they do in the D License course,
candidates are awarded either a National D License,
which allows them to attend a National C License course
after a year,
or a State D License.
If a State D License is earned,
the D License course can be retaken
by coaches interested in obtaining a National C License.
The D course requires two consecutive weekends:
Friday night and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Other Courses
Coaching courses are also available from the
National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
