<hr /> US Soccer Current National Youth License Schedule

mruest@comcast.net — 2010-04-23T10:34:00-04:00

The National Youth License focuses upon the nature of children and the adjustments adults must make to coach them. The course curriculum covers the ages of 4-12 year olds. Each day of the course, the focus is upon one of the traditional soccer age groups of U-6, U-8, U-10 or U-12. The course combines both classroom (theory) and field (practical) sessions and concludes with written, oral and practical examinations. The National Youth License course is six days in length, sometimes being held over two weekends rather than six days in a row. It is ideal for anyone hoping to become a better and more effective coach. The National Youth License is administered and instructed by U.S. Youth Soccer. For additional information on the National Youth License, please click here.

ELIGIBILITY:
Candidates must be 18 years old and hold a National "D" License or have the approval of the State Director of Coaching.

Renowned international event looks to set precedent in national youth tournaments

Small-Sided Games Resource Center [link]

FRISCO, TEXAS (March 26, 2007) – Today Dallas Cup, Inc. which sponsors the Dallas Cup international youth soccer tournament, announced that the Under-13 age group would be added to the event in 2008 and the Under-12 age group will be eliminated. The Dallas Cup Board of Directors decision supports the United States Youth Soccer (US Youth Soccer) Association’s recommendation that players in the Under-12 age group play small-sided games.

In August of 2003, US Youth Soccer’s State Associations approved changes to the Policy on Players and Playing Rules that affect the game for players under age 12. Current US Youth Soccer policies require that Under-10 teams and younger play games with not more than eight players per side. Although 11-a-side play is permitted, US Youth Soccer strongly recommends the 8v8 modified format for players under age 12.
