U.S. Soccer unveiled its the new coaching “E” & "D" curriculum in January/February 2012. The curriculum is designed to improve development of players in the United States, concentrating on creating more organized, age-appropriate training sessions, developing coaching practices and creating an environment that is fun for the players. The E course will become a

Jan 20, First snow of the winter may have cancelled programes across the state, this was not the case at the E license hosted by Twin Valley Soccer Club. The Club played host to 25 coaches who despite the horrible conditions braved it through the weekend. The standard was high and we wish them well with their teams in the future...

All Female Course Was a Success!
In December Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer ran an ‘E’ Course for female coaches only. The idea behind the course was to have an unintimidating all female environment for young female coaches (14 yrs. and up) to begin their journey or enhance their coaching experience through the E Course and its methodology of coaching.
Thirty Seven female candidates participated and passed the course under the guidance of the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer staff. Two age groups (1996 & 1998 girls) from our Olympic Development Program (ODP) (1996 & 1998 girls) also supported the event by being used as players in the coach’s sessions.
