Staff
Staff Requirements:
Academy Director must have USSF Academy Director Course, EFCL Certificate or USSF/CSA A license or equivalent
Academy Head Coach must have B License or equivalent (exceptions must be approved by MLS NEXT Technical Director)
Recommended best practice: Head Coaches should have additional Assistant Coaches, especially if coaching more than one team
Recommended best practice: A coach shouldn't be Head coach of more than one team, but can be a Head coach on one team and an assistant on other teams
Matchday Staff:
Maximum of 5 coaching staff members permitted in technical area and must be listed on the Digital Match Roster within Kitman Labs. (Not including Qualified Medical Professional or ATC)
There must be a minimum of two (2) registered staff members in the technical area for each match
Any Staff members that will be working with MLS NEXT players or will be in the technical area during MLS NEXT matches will be required to complete the entire registration process
There are only three MLS Next clubs in the DMV. Bethesda teams meet these requirements. So does Baltimore Armour.
But Achilles does not -- they only have one coach with a license. They had four MLS Next teams this year, but only one coach had the required license.
