COACH LICENSING

We strongly encourage every coach to take the 20 minute introductory module after you create your profile. This will show you the new pathway developed by US Soccer. Then you can register for courses they have online and in person for 4v4, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11 which corresponds to U6/U8, U10, U12 and U14 & up.
When you take one of the courses, Glendale Soccer will put $50 into your account and can be used for future registrations.
If you take additional courses towards earning your D License we will grant one free registration upon the completion of:
· Two in-person courses (one of which must be the 11v11)
AND
· One online course across any of the four levels (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11)
If you go on to complete the D Level License, Glendale will give you free registration for life.
Please send your Certificate of completion to James Miles or Dennis Wimer for your credit.
