All Challenge coaches / team managers please read this information pertaining to player passes. PLAYER PASSES ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL CHALLENGE MATCHES. The following guidance clarifies the key role referees are expected to take in enforcing this NCYSA rule:

"Letters from the president of the association or league, from the coach or team manager of the team, or ANY written document purporting to allow a player to play without a pass is NOT ACCEPTABLE. NCSRA officials are to enforce this regulation regardless of what the coach, team manager or president explains at the field. If there are any questions or complaints, please refer them to the NCASA or NCYSA State Office."

Thank you.

NCYSA COACHES LICENSING INFORMATION:

Youth - The Youth Modules were designed to provide the most current information on the growth and development of the youth soccer player.  It takes the approach that the game is within the child.  The three Youth Modules concentrate on developmentally appropriate activities that help the child develop mentally, socially, and physically. By developing these activities, we are allowing the game to be the teacher while providing a fun, organized, training session without too much stress on the coach. The three modules break down as follows:
I: U6-U8 level players
II: U8-U10 level players
III: U10-U12 level players.

E - This course is designed specifically for the coach working with U12-U14 players and is the general certification for coaching 11-a-side youth soccer.  The curriculum focuses on the development of the player both individually and as part of the team.  The emphasis is to build on the player's technical training by applying tactical concepts within game situations. Coaches are expected to participate and play during the course.

D - Pre-requisite "E" (or "E" Waiver) License. This course is designed for the coach working with U12 and higher aged players and is the highest license that the state office offers.  The emphasis of the course is to prepare coaches to further the development of the player's technical application to the demands of the game, as well as expand the player's tactical awareness within the team.  Coaches are expected to participate and play during the course. At the end of the course there is a practical and written test.
