USSF Coaching License | Overview | Structure 

That's fantastic! Welcome to the club man. It's a fantastic career to be in.

Also starting my journey, hoping to get as close to that pro as possible!

You got this! As long as your engaged and proactive - you'll do great!

a trick: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

Hi Bilal, i'm about to start 11v11 in person and want to ask you many question, so if it possible may i have your personal E-mail or contact number

My pleasure! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Fernando love to hear you're pursuing your coaching license! That's correct, everything will be a bit different for the next few months. Actually working on a video that talks about the next wave of courses...

Glad it was helpful!

If anyone else may have the same question, I'm leaving an answer here too. I appreciate you checking out the video on youtube and sending me an email. The USSF and NSCAA are both formal, recognized organizations that provide coaching licenses. Some of the main differences between the two are price, availability, and pre-requisites. Price is a big one for alot of coaches that are getting into coaching. Some of the basic license range anywhere from 200 - 500 depending on your location and availability. The higher you go with USSF the higher the prices are. For NSCAA they're pretty reasonable throughout the structure. The next is availability itself. The lower licenses from USSF are typically conducted by whatever your local organization is. For me in SoCal, the recognized organization is CalSouth. They host and run all licenses up to the B - which is then run by USSF itself. NSCAA runs all of their licenses themselves from National (D license equivalent) to Master (Pro). So you need to find your local organization and check what their dates are. My advice would be to get your first license as soon as possible (once Covid-19) allows it. Pre-requisites are also a big thing. For USSF you have to take the licenses in sequential order D, C, B, A, Pro. If you've played professionally, then they have waivers in place where you can skip certain levels. For NSCAA only certain levels have pre-requisites. Hopefully this helped you out a little. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm adding a link, that breaks down the equivalents. It is a few years old but it will give you a general idea to how the two organizations compare. s3.amazonaws.com/files.leagueathletics.com/Images/Club/2611/DOC/Coaching%20License%20Comparison.pdf Best of luck and welcome to the world of coaching!

Don't think there is a direct relationship to license and pay structure. Depends on the location of the club, what a coach earns per team. If it's just club coaching - then younger ages range from 800-1000 per team, older ages could go from 1000-1400 per team. On averagae coaches have two teams but some coach 3 teams...

For the USSF National D License, these are the requirements: Completed Introduction to Grassroots Coaching module Completed Two (2) Grassroots In-Person (4v4, 7v7, 9v9 or 11v11) Completed One (1) Grassroots Online (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, or 11v11) or Completed Introduction to Grassroots Coaching Previously Earned U.S. Soccer E License or Completed Introduction to Grassroots Coaching Previously Earned U.S. Soccer F License Completed Two (2) Grassroots In-Person (4v4, 7v7, 9v9 or 11v11) and Student Coaches must have access to a team (U7-U12) for the duration of the course. Hope it helps.

Honestly, it depends on what kind of team. Some teams do not require you to have a license and some do. It depends entirely on what team/age youre wanting to coach...

@@jordonsoccertraining I get it. By the way. Thanks for the video. It is very explicit. I ask you why I want to be a soccer coach but honestly I don't know where to start. My idea is to train in the youth categories. Eventually maybe in a major league. But I don't know how to start

You can register online at the US Lesrning center. I have a video about that. It will walk you through everything. Additionally, depending on where you are in the US, you will likely register with your local soccer organization.

@@jordonsoccertraining for the moment I could not find a team to coaching !!!

@@telphone588 for the initial license, until you register for the D, you do not need a team. It helps but is not a requirement

@@jordonsoccertraining ok thanks 👍

Depends on where you are based out of. If you’re based out of the US, then visiting the learning.ussoccer.com will provide you with everything you need to create an account and register for your first course. Outside of the US, very similar process but contacting your local FA (Football Association) they will be able to provide you with what you need. Best of luck!!

Right off the bat, it’ll start with Licenses, networking with coaches and DOC and new challenges in the coaching realm (coaching roles, clubs etc).

@@jordonsoccertraining thx a lot for that 🙏

@@Kelvin-hz2gh 18 year old coach here, gonna throw in my 2 cents, networking is important. Keep on grinding best for luck man!

Yes. Most organizations will accept both USSF and UEFA. If you want to get a USSF license after obtaining your UEFA, there are some waivers that coaches who have a UEFA B can jump to certain USSF licenses vs starting from the lowest license.

Hate to hear that! Just be patient, more licenses will be coming soon in 2021

@@jordonsoccertraining I plan to coach college or high school, but i’m leaning toward high school at least to start. College has so many cocky and arrogant players

@@jamesmartini8639 HS is good, short program where you have to hit the ground running because it's only 3-4 months long with no offseason. It's hit or miss to be honest - The players at our program are very humble and overall good players. I think their behavior or attitude resembles the coaching staff because a coach tends to recruit players that reflect themselves and their program. Just an opinion.

@@jordonsoccertraining Very good point. I played in a college and the coach did as little as possible, barely used the bench and kissed the asses of his players from the previous years. Returning player = Captain. Someone with no leadership, but you’re right, the coach molds the attitude

1) make sure local high schools hire off campus coaches. Some only use teachers that are already at the school. 2) Become a volunteer first with lower level teams - Freshman/Sophomore (Frosh), Junior Vasity, Varsity etc... 3) Be persistent in your networking. Good references help in the HS game!

Depends entirely on the team, the city and minimum wage rate. I know coaches who are coaching ECNL teams with D Licenses and they earn on average $2k a month per team and they have 2 teams. I also know some coaches who do local jobs and earn minimum wage.

@@jordonsoccertraining ok makes sense. I’m in San Diego so they must pay more here.

@@KaysunKhales If you're with a big club team like Surf then probably earning more than 2k. But yes, typically the city will drive the pay.

@@jordonsoccertraining ok thanks, I’m looking at surf or sharks

That's a good question, honest answer, I'm not sure. That would probably depend on the school
