Yellowstone Premier League is proud to host official US Soccer Federation license courses via our national governing body, US Youth Soccer. If your club is interested in hosting a Grassroots Module or D License course, please contact [email protected]
Please note that to host a Grassroots 4v4, 7v7, 9v9, or 11v11 module, we request at least 1-month to process the paperwork, get the course approved with US Soccer, and advertise it. For a D License, we suggest 2-months prior notice for planning purposes.
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Soccer Coaching Department was established in the early 1970s by famed West German teacher and coach, Dettmar Cramer. Each level of the U.S. Soccer Coaching License Pathway is designed to meet the needs of coaches ranging from the coach who is inexperienced in soccer to the former professional player who desires to coach in amateur, professional or international competitions. The U.S. Soccer coaching curriculum is designed to improve development of players in the organized player base in the United States, concentrating on creating more organized, age-appropriate training sessions, developing coaching practices and creating an environment that is fun for the players.
