The U.S. Soccer Federation is committed to growing the quality and quantity of trained youth coaches, through affordable and accessible entry-level grassroots coach education resources.
As part of this commitment, U.S. Soccer Federation has partnered with Maryland State Youth Soccer Association to launch the U.S. Soccer Coach For Community Program. This FREE program is focused on providing coaching education resources. The goal is to connect member associations with local soccer leaders to help create better player environments, which will increase player participation as well as retain players and coaches.
