General Requirements of the Certification Process

Whether you already hold a Cal South Coaching License, a license from another US Youth Soccer State Association, or a United States Soccer Federation National Coaching License, every Cal South coach must meet the requirements of the Coaching Education Department as described on the following pages featuring the different license levels. Course contents, duration, and costs are provided within each description.

To show you how everything breaks down, here is a chart featuring the accepted progression of license levels in coaching education:

Note: Youth Module 3 has replaced the older "F" license.

All courses are taught by Cal South State Staff Coaches who hold a National Coaching License. "D" Clinic instructors hold either an "A" or "B" National Coaching License. Youth Module instructors hold a National Youth License. All courses must be scheduled through the Cal South State Office. A list is maintained at the State Office and posted on Cal South website.

The "E" and "D" license courses are also offered in Spanish. Individuals wishing to attend a course or clubs and leagues which wish to host a course may do so by contacting Elliott Spruell, Cal South's Coaching Education coordinator, at 714.451.1553.
