Coaches

Education

In conjunction with US Soccer, OYSA offers coaching education through out the state.

It is OYSA’s goal is that all coaches have a Grassroots License, online or in-person, and all competitive coaches have a D License.  OYSA offers Grassroots, D and C Courses in Oregon.

The Learning Center (LC), through US Soccer, tracks all coaching licenses. Please create a Profile and watch the Introduction module if you are new. Once you have completed those you can start registering for the other courses. If you need help with the LC please contact Nelson Larson at nelson@oregonyouthsoccer.org.

Grassroots Courses focus on U.S. Soccer’s Coaching Education Philosophy, Play-Practice-Play Methodology, the Six Tasks of a Coach, and the characteristics of players in that specific game model (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11). Find Grassroots information and courses here.
