Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Coaching Education
 
Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer in partnership with the United States Soccer Federation and US Youth Soccer aims to provide the highest level of quality coaching education for coaches in Eastern Pennsylvania and beyond.  We are committed to certifying as many coaches as possible including beginners who are simply moms and dads volunteering to help their youth soccer community and those with no or very limited playing experience to those coaches who played at a high level and are full-time soccer coaches or part-time soccer coaches looking to increase their knowledge of the game and how to pass it along to players.  The ultimate goal is to promote and improve player development through small-sided games and a coaching methodology that creates an environment for learning the game and life skills that is fun and competitive. 
We offer a variety of opportunities to coaches including a formal coaching licensing program as well as clinics, symposiums, lecture series, website resources and our annual workshop.
