Coach licensing: relaxed requirements!

Fully online licensing for new coaches

We've been hearing you for many years - the required field training portion of getting your coach license can provide a hardship. Good news! This will no longer be required beginning in Fall 2025. For those who want to become a licensed coach, you'll need to complete the following:

  • US Soccer's Grassroots Coach Course
  • Safety training (Safe Sport, Introduction to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments)
  • RSI Background Check
  • LiveScan Fingerprinting

And that's it!
