All Extra team coaches must be approved by the Region 76 Extra Committee before receiving a team assignment. Coach applications are required each season, and approval must be renewed every season.
Coaches that are approved by Region 76 must meet the required training and certification standards of the Section One EXTRA guidelines which state that a current volunteer application is on file with National, have taken/passed AYSO’s Safe Haven and SafeSport and completed the CDC Concussion Awareness training. Coaches must have the following training to coach a specific division:
Division |
Coach Certification Requirement |

| 10U | 10U Coach Certification |
| 11U & 12U | 12U Coach Certification |
| 13U & 14U | Intermediate Coach Certification |
| 15U & 16U | Advanced Coach Certification |
Training requirements address the age appropriate training environment in conjunction with more advanced training session plans and activities aligned with technical and tactical awareness of the player.
