Interested in coaching?
Thank you for your interest in volunteering to be a coach! Please complete the following 3 steps in order to be eligible to coach a team.
AYSO requires that all volunteers register each year. We ask volunteers to go to eAYSO, enter your username and password and update your profile information. The link to eAYSO can be found on the Web Links page of this website. You should then print down 2 copies of your volunteer registration, sign and return to your region which is PHMSA. If you are a new volunteer, please also submit a copy of your driver's license. If the current season registration nights have not yet occurred, you can turn in your forms there. The other options are to hand them to your division coordinator or coach administrator or mail in your registration to PHMSA, PO Box 2327, Pleasant Hill, CA. We will then verify you as a volunteer.
Secondly you need to be Safe Haven certified. You can complete this online but you will need to have your AYSO ID number handy when you log on. The link is at the very bottom of this page. Please make sure you complete the Safe Haven Coach module since there are a number of other modules there.
If you are a new volunteer, you may not yet have an active AYSO ID number. PHMSA does offer classroom Safe Haven courses a number of times at the beginning of the season. Please inquire with the division coordinator or regional coach administrator.
Finally, all coach volunteers should be certified at the age level they are coaching. PHMSA provides a number of opportunities to get training. You may also attend training at other AYSO regions. You can get more information regarding coach courses from your division coordinator, regional coach administrator or go online to eAYSO and click on "Enroll to take a class."
Attached is the Coach Training Matrix describing offered classes and pre-requisites for each course.
It is important that you complete the above 3 items as a volunteer for PHMSA in order to be protected under the Volunteer Protection Act of 1997.

New AYSO Coach Training Policy
Debuting in 2010:
AYSO has announced important steps to ensure that every AYSO child has the best possible soccer learning experience. Beginning on Aug. 1, 2010, coaches and assistant coaches in the U-6 division in every AYSO Region will be required to have AYSO's age - appropriate training and AYSO Safe Haven certification when they take the field. The policy was approved and adopted by the National Board of Directors at their July 2009 meeting and is supported by the National Coaching Advisory Commission.
The new coach training policy will roll forward each year adding one additional level of required age-specific coach training until, by the 2015 membership year, every AYSO coach and assistant coach at every level will be appropriately trained for the team they will coach.
AYSO Certification/Training Policy
Starting August 1, 2009, the new coach certification/training policy will be in effect. The new policy requires all AYSO coaches and assistant coaches who wish to coach in the National Games, concurrent secondary play competitions or nationally sanctioned AYSO tournaments to be trained at the level of the team they coach.
Here is the minimum required certification for each age level:
All Coaches and Referees who have not previously taken the Safe Haven class must take it online.
