Introduction
Illinois Youth Soccer provides:
- A program in which coaches can earn national coaching credentials.
- A system which improves a coach’s knowledge of the game, methodology, and teaching methods
- Valuable information and current coaching trends state-wide, nationally and internationally
All Courses are taught by USSF certified Illinois Youth Soccer and National Staff Educators. All courses must be scheduled via the Learning Center. We will update list of courses as they are scheduled on the website.
Philosophy of the Coaching Education Program
To help you gain the most information from the courses, staff coaches teach the essentials of soccer in an optimal and dynamic way. All candidates are asked to participate in field sessions if able. Approximately two-thirds of each course is comprised of field sessions and practice coaching and the remaining one-third as lectures and collaboration. The intensity of the field sessions are directly related to the level of the course. The higher the course level, the more hours required for the field.
