How to Become a Santa Monica AYSO Coach

AYSO National rules say that each coach must be certified AT THE LEVEL HE OR SHE INTENDS TO COACH IN.  This makes sense, right?  We want to make sure our kids are being coached by people who have taken the time to learn how to teach soccer!

For that reason, all assistant coaches must also take the coaching clinics, in case they need to cover for the team coach.  And these clinics are open to team managers as well.  It’s fun and educational!

Getting certified is easy; it will only take a few hours of your time. It will give you a chance to connect with your fellow SM AYSO coaches and administrators. And it may even help make you a better coach.
