Why do I need training?

• It makes your ‘job” as coach or referee easier.  Even if you know soccer, you may not know how to teach soccer to young children or serve as referees who also educate.   
  
• It’s required.  When you volunteered, you agreed to complete training as part of the role.
• You will have access to tips and training plans to help your season be as productive and successful (and fun!) as possible.
• You will learn more about the AYSO program and what it means to coach a recreational team using age appropriate techniques to encourage a love of soccer while also guiding skill development.
• Our players deserve well-trained coaches and everyone has a better experience when you know what you’re doing!
