Chelmsford Youth Soccer believes that “the game is the greatest teacher” and that children will get better at soccer by playing, playing and more playing. We also believe that well-trained, resourceful coaches will enhance a child’s enjoyment of this beautiful sport. To that end, CYSA encourages coaches to take advantage of coaching courses being offered by Mass Youth Soccer Association (MYSA). Successful completion of these courses earn the coach a certificate or license that emphasizes proper coaching principles. We recommend that coaches at all levels take advantage of these courses. Upon receipt of your license certificate, CYSA will reimburse you the cost of the training course for coaching licenses up to and including D level.  For any other courses please contact the CYSA training director prior to taking any courses in order to get reimbursement approvals.  Although there are no performance or written tests in the introductory courses (F and E), each involves a few hours of activity. To get the most out of each course, participation in the practical, active sessions is strongly encouraged, but is not required. This activity is not physically rigorous, and lasts approximately one half of each course.
