Coach Certification Courses
All AYSO assistant and head coaches must obtain certification in each age group they coach. The Coach Certification Courses must be completed in-person.
Note: The In-person certification class is not the same thing as the annual Coach meeting.

How To Find Certification Courses
All Trainings offered by all regions can be found in the Event Calendar on AYSOU.
How do I get to AYSOU? Great question. Step one is to submit a volunteer Coach application. Once you do, next to your application you'll find a button labeled, AYSOU. (Note: if you are a new volunteer, sometimes it takes about two hours before you can access AYSOU.)
Once you are at the AYSOU Training website, you can take your online safety courses and sign up for a Coach Class through ANY AYSO region.
