Maryland to Again Host National "C" License Course in 2007
August 4 - 12, at Maryland SoccerPlex, Germantown, MD
The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) has approved
Maryland to host a National "C" Coaching License Course again this summer. The course will be held at the Maryland SoccerPlex in
Germantown, MD over the week of August 4 - August 12.
Course Eligibility: Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, and have earned a National "D" License certification held for a minimum of 12 months (a copy will be required with the application).
The "D" License certification may be waived under one of the following conditions:
1. Applicant received the NSCAA National Diploma and has held it for a minimum of 12 months.
2. Applicant has three (3) years coaching experience AND has three years playing experience with U.S. National Team or three (3) years professional playing experience.
What to expect at the course:
The "C" License course provides continued instruction on the development of individual skill taught within individual and small group activities and games (4v4 to 7v7), as well as the understanding and development of tactics through 4v4 to 9v9 games. Additionally, this course is designed to train coaches to observe mistakes and make appropriate corrections. Candidates undergo a challenging series of written , oral and practical examinations on a variety of subjects. Graded on a scale of 1 (high) to 5 (fail), candidates must receive passing scores in all test areas in order to become licensed. A single failing score in a theoretical subject qualifies for a re-test in that subject. All re-tests will take place at the conclusion of the course. A single failing score in either of the methodology subjects will result in a failing grade for the course with no re-testing. If a candidate is found deficient in only Game Awareness, he/she may still pass the course.
If an applicant misses any of the course sessions, he/she must return to a future school to participate in that session/ lecture, even if the candidate had passed all of the testing areas. License will be with held until this requirement is fulfilled.
