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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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