A. You don't need to take a course this year BUT you are more than welcome to take the new CYSA "F" course to further your coach education.

A. You can take the DYSL Youth Module. This is only a 1/2 day course but will contain much of the material presented in the "F" course.
Q. If I do not take a coaching course does this mean I will not be able to coach a team?
A. We are encouraging each coach to attend at least one coaching session per year. If you do not attend and there is an excess of coaches in your age group, preference may be given to a coach who has attended a coach clinic vs. a coach who has not attended.

A. Absolutely. Assistant coaches or team managers are welcome to attend all courses.
