1. Complete ASEP Youth Soccer Coach Training:
This course is for coaches of athletes age 13 and under participating in a recreational, noncompetitive setting. Learn fundamental coaching concepts and responsibilities, and come away with the most important coaching points of the major skills and tactics of youth soccer.
In this interactive online course, you’ll learn to prepare for your season and provide the best possible experience for your athletes. The course is supplemented by excerpts from the Coaching Youth Soccer book, which are delivered as a series of PDF downloads within the course. As you progress through the online course, you’ll be prompted to read book excerpts to complete course activities.

The course includes many interactive exercises that apply and enrich concepts from the book excerpts. The course introduces volunteer coaches to the games approach to coaching, which uses small-sided games to teach skills and tactics. It also includes a handy Coaches’ Clipboard utility with forms, documents, and detailed plans for successful practice sessions and game-day coaching. The course concludes with an online 30-question test.
Guided by a mentor coach, coaches face learning challenges in the following units:
