Many of our BRYC coaches are parents who may or may not have played soccer before. Truly, even if you have played soccer for a long time, it's often difficult to remember how you learned to play when you were 5 years old.

BRYC always wants to make the experience positive for players and coaches, so we ask our coaches to take US Soccer authorized coach licensing classes. US Youth Soccer has just revamped their licensing program.

You start at the Digital Coaching Center:   https://www.ussoccer.com/coaching-education

This is the pathway you will follow:

• Grassroots (free 20 minute online course)
• On-line course: 4v4, 7v7, 9v9 or 11v11
• In person courses: 4v4, 7v7, 9v9 or 11v11
• When you get to the full size field you will want to get your D License. In order to be eligible for that licensing class, you will need to have completed:
  • 2 on-line courses
  • 2 in-person courses

BRYC will reimburse you for the cost of the registration if you send the Training Director (that's me, Joan Smith).

1. your receipt
2. your certificate of completion
3. NOTE:  The D License will ONLY be reimbursed for Head Coaches.

If you have any questions about the licensing process, don't hesitate to contact me!

We feel that BRYC stands for:

Best Recreational Youth Coaches

... getting your coaching licenses helps ensure that we have strong coaches, strong players and a strong program.

Thank you for all you do!
