Seriously?[/quote]

Yes, the USSF has a centralized system of not only online courses (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11) but also a tracking system of physical location courses.  I believe all D and C license course are hosted by a club under the leadership of its state association; to my understanding all B and A licenses (Senior License, Youth License) as well as the Pro License are handled by the USSF national training center (not sure on the official name of that).

It surely can be good as a means of coaching education; however, it doesn't mean that A licensed coaches are smarter than B licensed coaches.  It also helps initially establish some credibility.  It does not mean that A license'd coaches are the most knowledgeable nor the best coaches--but it can be a good measuring stick to start off with.  If you have any questions, contact your kid's coach and just talk with them.  If by the end you feel like you've bought a used car, pay more attention at your kid's development  :lol:  [/quote]

Considering the salaries - the coaches should be required to be licensed at the highest level.  I have to have a degree + in order to command my salary and position. They should do the same.

So to coach a high-level youth soccer team and make around $10k I need to have what you need at your job? I have my teaching certification, bachelors, and a B license. What else do I need for the 10k km going to be making?[/quote]
