Becoming a Travel Coach

Coaching Opportunities & Requirements

Requires certified coaching education, and ideally a multi-year commitment to develop the potential of a select group of players.

  • Coaching License: New Jersey Youth Soccer (NJYS) requires each coach and assistant coach to pass a USSF coaching course, and have a valid State Certificate Course (Formerly the NJYS F Certificate) or higher license. State Certificate Course must be issued in New Jersey. Advanced levels are strongly encouraged for tenured coaches on staff. Courses are offered on a regular basis in many different locations across the state. LHSA will reimburse each coach the course registration fee in full upon successful completion. A license is good for life, so be sure to store your certificate in a safe place.
