Coach Clinics Policy
Regional Policy on
Attendance at Coach Clinics
1. Introduction. Region 76 has always encouraged coaches, whether head coaches or assistant coaches, to attend clinics to improve their skills as coaches. Our goal is for every coach to have received training appropriate to the division in which they coach and also certain universal training applicable to all coaches. The training requirements are mandatory, in compliance with AYSO's Safe Haven program. The requirements apply to both head and assistant coaches.
| Level | Training | Certification (certification will be built into all training courses) |
| U6 | AYSO U6 course | Level 1 Coach Certification |
| U8 | AYSO U8 course | Level 1 Coach Certification |
| U10 | AYSO U10 course | Level 1 Coach Certification |
| U12 | Coaches who have taken the AYSO Youth clinic in the past: AYSO Intermediate | Level 1 Coach Certification |
| U14/16/19 | AYSO Intermediate or Advanced | Level 1 Coach Certification |
2. Exceptions. We will approach required coaching education in a positive spirit. Nevertheless, we cannot make exceptions to the above policies. Division directors should not be deterred at the prospect of losing coaches. Our objective is to have a high quality program and educated coaches are a necessity. Any exception to the above policy must be cleared by the Division Director with the Coach Administrator or the Regional Commissioner. Don't expect one to be granted.
3. Level 1 Certification course (Safe Haven) is required for all coaches.
4. Clinics are posted on this site.
