Coach Training

Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer adopted the recommendations of the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiatives (PDI). The PDI included specific rules for younger age groups to promote player development.

Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer has made available resources to help coaches remain informed on these rules and promote best practices within their clubs. CLICK HERE
Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer encourages Technical Directors and Directors of Coaching to share these resources with their coaches.

If a club would like to host a coach training session

Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer's Technical Director will assign the instructor(s).
Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer will post the course on the state’s website, the Digital Coaching Center (DCC) and promote the course. If the course enrollment is not met one week prior to start date of the course, the course will be cancelled or rescheduled.
Certification and or licenses will be given only to those candidates who attend the entire course and successfully complete the course requirements. Licenses will be made accessible to the candidates through the DCC within three weeks after the course is finished.
