    Heard the F license is no longer available. That said - what are the best online resources for volunteer rec coaches these days.

    I would categorize the group as very enthusiastic - so they are willing to spend the time behind the keyboard.

    I also have them shadowing A-C level license coaches during competitive practices at theire respected age groups.

    FYI,

    I hold an E


    • If you currently hold an E license: you advance to the D license by completing the cost-free Introduction to Grassroots Coaching module.

    • If you currently hold an F license: you advance to the D license by completing the Introduction to Grassroots Coaching module, the 11v11 in-person course, and one additional in-person grassroots course, the 4v4, 7v7 or 9v9.

    If you do not already have a U.S. Soccer license: you advance to the D license course by completing the Introduction to Grassroots Coaching module, the 11v11 in-person course, one other in-person course, and one online Grassroots course.

    Yeah that I read but right now these are just rec coaches - likely not going to go beyond the grass roots programming. Frankly I learned more from shadowing good coaches and having conversations then from any licenses I hold.
