Coaches that are approved by their Regions must meet the required training and certification standards of the Section 1 Alliance guidelines which state that a current volunteer application is on file with National, have taken/passed AYSO’s Safe Haven and completed the CDC Concussion Awareness training. Coaches must have the following training to coach a specific division:

10U | 10U Coach Certification |
11U & 12U | 12U Coach Certification |
13U & 14U | Intermediate Coach Certification |
