Take Your Role Further

Become a Coach Instructor!

If you have enjoyed your coaching experience, and you either have your 12U Coach Certificate or are willing to obtain it, then you might be a good candidate to become a Coach Instructor. Coach Instructors are experienced coaches who are authorized to conduct coach certification courses.

We have immediate need for more Coach Instructors, and it is one of the most important roles in AYSO! Many times, our coaches must travel to the suburbs, or further, to attend a certification course in another AYSO region. With more Region 418 Coach Instructors, we can make it easier to become a coach by offering more certification courses right here in Chicago, and more coaches means more kids gets to play soccer each year!

AYSO training doesn't stop, as long as you're having fun! Clinics, workshops and Advanced Coach Certification courses are available to advance your coaching credentials or if you are interested in an administrative role. Email the Coach Administrator at [email protected] for advanced certification options and more information.
