In order to deliver a preeminent education experience, South Texas is offering the Grassroots course in a blended format. This format includes a 2-hour online virtual classroom session and a 2-hour in-person field session. Attending all of both sessions is required to successfully complete this license.
COURSE DETAILS:
The 4v4 In-Person Course is a four-hour course that builds on the principles covered in U.S. Soccer’s Introduction to Grassroots Coaching Module. Specifically, coaches will learn more about U.S. Soccer’s Grassroots Coaching Education Philosophy, Play-Practice-Play Methodology, the Tasks of a Coach, and the characteristics of players aged 6-8. The course will also ask each coach to reflect on their experiences to develop action steps for personal growth.
Coaches who take this course can expect two (2) hours of classroom-based learning with the facilitation of a licensed instructor, followed by two (2) hours of on-field coaching/observation. Coaches must attend both components (classroom & field) of this specific course.
Coaches will be asked to participate in discussions, so each person should have access to a web camera or live video capabilities for the virtual classroom session. Coaches should bring a notepad and pen for the In-Person classroom and field sessions. Coaches may be asked to participate in the field component as either coaches or players, so please come prepared to learn actively.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
To register for the 4v4 Blended Course, coaches must be at least 16 years old and have completed U.S. Soccer’s Introduction to Grassroots Coaching module. This module can be accessed here.
*Due to online privacy laws, individuals under the age of 16 cannot create Learning Center (LC) profiles, and thus are unable to take Grassroots Courses.
