As fall soccer approaches we are excited to announce that grassroots coaching courses will take place again in Bismarck, ND on September 5th (4v4) and September 6th (7v7), 2023.
Just like in 2022, any fall rec coach who completes one of the grassroots courses and coaches a team this fall will not only receive one free registration, but we will also reimburse you for the course fee too!
These licences will prepare coaches in understanding how to run a Play-Practice-Play training session, understand the Six Tasks of a Coach, and learn how to implement them within their own environment.
To be eligible for the grassroots courses candidates must be at least 16 years of age and complete the free introduction to grassroots coaching course which takes approximately 20 minutes (link below).
Both 4v4 and 7v7 courses will follow a blended format where candidates will attend both a two hour online session and a two hour in person session. Details below:
