Club-Hosted, TCSL-Facilitated Coach Education

Background & Purpose: To reach and educate more coaches, TCSL will facilitate coach education opportunities in member club home environments that is accessible and affordable for clubs and their coaches.

Course Offerings: USSF 7v7, USSF 9v9, USSF 11v11 

How it Works: Host member club selects the course, preferred dates and provides a field and appropriate players for the course. TCSL works to secure an instructor, get the course on the U.S. Soccer Learning Center and executes administrative details to ensure the course experience is a positive one for all.

Coach Education Philosophy

TCSL supports coach education, regardless of who is hosting courses, and therefore supports Minnesota Youth Soccer Association’s efforts to provide and promote coach education.

TCSL believes that coach education is agnostic and in no way should coaches of any organization be denied good, quality coach education.

Through its US Club Soccer affiliation, TCSL hosts United Soccer Coaches, United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and LaLiga courses.

Aligned with US Club Soccer, Twin Cities Soccer Leagues believes that better clubs develop better coaches, and better coaches develop better players.
