The Tennessee State Soccer Association is a leader in providing coaching education and recognizes that continual life-long learning opportunities are the basis for the growth of the game and player development in our state.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We partner as an affiliate of the US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) under US Soccer to offer courses with a variety of organizations. This includes a partnership with United Soccer Coaches (formally the NSCAA), a non-profit association of soccer coaches at every level of the game that conducts educational offerings through a coaching academy program.  These courses are called \u201cdiploma programs\u201d and are intended to be information oriented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, since US Soccer is the national governing body, they are the only organization recognized by soccer\u2019s world governing body, FIFA, to be able to issue a soccer coaching “license.\u201d The TN Soccer coaching education department provides US Soccer courses locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am currently in the process of taking the D coaching license course in Brentwood. I just wanted to say that I appreciate that Tennessee Soccer provides training like this. This course has been extremely helpful for me to develop as a coach. My training sessions are much improved. I do less \u201ccoaching\u201d during games. And because I had more conversations with the parents early, my team has a healthy, positive culture\u2026Basically, I appreciate that you all provide these courses to help coaches like me improve. Last summer I took the 11v11 and 7v7. I learned so much that I wanted to take the D license.\u201d <\/em>\u2014 Kurt Thompson, Rampage Soccer Club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
