When coaches and clubs post that their coaches have licenses, US or others, is there a way to verify it?

Who would lie? They aren’t that difficult to get. Look at all the jokers with A’s in nova.

They are time consuming to get. I can see why some would lie.

Used to be pretty easy, but not as easy now (at least that's what I hear).

A license doesn’t mean that a coach is a good coach.

Years of reputable coaching experience is key (and if/she has played college/professional is a plus.)

Hate to say it, but everyone is on their own.. after the last 2 years of league shake-up, you can't really rely on this either as key.

Talk to people you think you can trust to be honest brokers and you should also have a realistic vision of how your player fits in to the coach's vision. If you kid is payer 1-3, you will find a very different situation than player 4-7 and 8-18.

Licensing in the past 10 years has changed dramatically. If a coach has an A in the last 5-6 years that is not an easy license to get.

Said the fat screaming license less coach who screams his travel team into playing ‘kick and run’ & because he wins a few games thinks he’s all that.

There’s absolutely no reason to be too lazy to get at least a C license. No reason.

Requirements for coaching licenses are posted here https://www.ussoccer.com/coaching-education/overview

Each coaching level has classroom and practical training requirements and getting an "A" license appears to require both significant time and financial commitment from the coach.

An A license takes the better part of a year to get, ding dongs. And before you can enroll in an A license course you need to have passed your B and C license courses.

If the coach played professionally he/she has an automatic "A" license. The best boys' coach in NOVA has a "D" license.
