Canada Soccer Grassroots Coaching Certification

The Community Stream courses are designed for grassroots coaches wanting an introduction into the basics of coaching soccer. Coaches should enter the Community Stream at the appropriate age and stage of the players they intend on working with.  All courses are participatory and there is no evaluation.  

 

The Community Stream has four courses based on Stages 1, 2, 3, and 7 of the Long Term Player Development Model. The first three courses, Active Start, FUNdamentals and Learn to Train, deal with soccer training and the importance of physical literacy for players up to 12 years of age. The fourth course in this stream, Soccer for Life focuses on working with players of any age.
