COACHES

Coaching Education

To support both compliance and continued growth, CJSL is proud to offer a robust lineup of U.S. Soccer Grassroots Coaching Courses. 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.
