 F License Coaching Course

Hudson Youth Soccer will be hosting an F License Coaching Course on Wednesdays 10/22 & 10/29. The course will run from 6-10 p.m. at Hudson High School and involves classroom and instructional play.

I highly recommend taking the state licensing courses. These courses teach the fundamentals of soccer coaching and play. The courses are run by an exceptional staff from Mass Youth Soccer that have national, collegiate and professional backgrounds.

In order to attend the F level course, you must first take the G level course. I know some folks have already taken the G level course. For others, you can check out Mass Youth Soccer's website under Coaching Events Schedule, MYSA_Coaching_Course_F1_Hudson

The cost of the F level course is $55. Registration is through the Mass Youth Soccer website. I am working with Tara to get this course posted shortly.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Maureen Kraft

 
The F Course


A more ambitious introductory course for novice coaches or those with some experience. Designed primarily for coaches of U8, U10, or U12 teams. Our intention in the F course is to help you to become a more resourceful and confident "activity leader" - to combine your enthusiasm and commitment to children with the basic theory and practical exercises that we'll provide. 

Prerequisites:  G License MANDATORY

Content: Ideas about how to organize practices and game days, many games and exercises for practices, a more thorough demonstration of basic technique, elementary goalkeeping techniques, some basic tactical ideas.

Materials (Given to the coach): Mass Youth Soccer F Manual  and Mass Youth Soccer Coaching Program T-shirt.

We are using a new, local vendor this season. The clothing is a little bit more expensive, but also a higher quality.

 
The picture schedule link is the 2nd draft.  This is the 2nd draft, and it may change slightly moving forward. We may have another photographer on hand, in which case everyone's times may change just a bit from this schedule.

Unfortunately, the weather isn't cooperating at this point. If it is raining, Hudson fields will probably be closed.

For those of you a home game, NVYSL recommends calling the opposing coach, and making sure you are on the same page for this weekend's games.
