CJSL Fall 2025 Coaching Education Update

As we begin the Fall 2025 season, the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League (CJSL) reminds all participating clubs that every coach must hold a valid coaching license in accordance with U.S. Soccer, Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA), and league regulations. This applies to coaches in CJSL, EDP, and all affiliated competitions.

To support both compliance and continued growth, CJSL is proud to offer a robust lineup of U.S. Soccer Grassroots Coaching Courses this season. Held at Success Academy locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, these courses cover the 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 game models and include virtual classroom sessions followed by in-person field practicums.

In addition to English-language sessions, Spanish-language courses are also available through our partners at ENYYSA to ensure broader access across our multicultural community.

These courses are ideal for:

  • New coaches who need their first license to be eligible for league play

  • Experienced coaches looking to advance their credentials

  • Club leadership seeking to elevate coaching standards and support player development

We strongly encourage club administrators, technical directors, and DOCs to share these opportunities with their coaching staff and register early, as space is limited.

“At CJSL, we believe that educated coaches create better environments for player development. These Grassroots Coaching Courses are more than a requirement—they’re a vital step in building confident, knowledgeable leaders on the field who can guide our players to reach their full potential.” — Darren Marshall, Director of Education, Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League
