How important is coaching licensing? For coaches looking for high positions it's fairly important, it's a resume builder if not anything else. As far as telling how "good" a coach is, it's not very important.
What are DA coaching licensing qualification? As mentioned earlier, B licence is the minimum I believe.
What are ECNL’s? None
Do all coaches; DA, ECNL, CCL, NPL... etc. use the same licensing courses? There are really only two coaching licence organizations really. the predominate being the one run by US Soccer, and the other by NSCAA , which I guess is now United Soccer Coaches.

I'm curious why you ask OP?[/quote]

The answers to the questions are not easy to come by.  Parents talk on sidelines about differences in clubs and coaches.  Clubs use anything they can as a selling point. Education should be first priority in any working force.  Educating myself as a parent is just as important.

If a coach has an A license do they continue renewing the license?

Times change and so do thoughts and perspective on new vs old style of coaching.

I don't have an A license so I can't speak to that level, but to my knowledge none of the licenses currently require continuing education, although I suspect that is coming as the certification / licensing industry is moving that way - although I would argue that is more of a money grab, then a concern to keep folks up to date.

Parents will always talk on the sideline - that's just human nature. I'm glad you take responsibility in educating yourself as a parent, I wish more folks would take that seriously. Bottom line for me, figure out what you and you're child's goals are for participating in soccer and find the right coach to help facilitate that. It's not easy, but it's well worth the time.[/quote]

The A and B require continuing education. [/quote]
