Soccer Rhode Island is proud to offer coaching education opportunities from our nationally recognized coaching education leader, the US Soccer Coaching License pathway. These course options will offer coaches the chance to learn more about how to develop a player-centered approach to coaching.
Spanning 4-hours in length, each in-person Grassroots Course consists of both classroom and field-based sessions. Coaches will learn more about U.S. Soccer’s Coaching Education philosophy, Play-Practice-Play Methodology, and the Six Tasks of a Grassroots Coach among other topics. The newly revamped D License is a culmination of all four game models and an extension of the Grassroots courses. After completion of the Grassroots Courses, coaches will have the knowledge and tools to positively impact their player and the environment in which they interact.
Interested coaches may begin with any in-person grassroots course of their choosing following the completion of the free Introduction to Grassroots Coaching Module, which is offered in U.S. Soccer’s Digital Coaching Center.
Soccer Rhode Island will be holding the following courses. For more details on upcoming courses, please contact odp-director@soccer-ri.com
