US Soccer Current National Youth License Schedule
04/23/10 10:34 AM
The National Youth License focuses upon the nature of
children and the adjustments adults must make to coach
them. The course curriculum covers the ages of 4-12
year olds. Each day of the course, the focus is upon
one of the traditional soccer age groups of U-6, U-8,
U-10 or U-12. The course combines both classroom
(theory) and field (practical) sessions and concludes
with written, oral and practical examinations.
The National Youth License course is six days in
length, sometimes being held over two weekends rather
than six days in a row. It is ideal for anyone hoping
to become a better and more effective coach.
The National Youth License is administered and
instructed by U.S. Youth Soccer. For additional
