Director of Coaching Josh Krusewski Arranged a CJSA Youth Module license to be offered on March 9 th in Guilford. Perfect for in house or starting out coaches. Only one offered in CT so far. - Registration online - Two different rates (in town and out) This course is a perfect course for the in house volunteer coach, and also the parent coach with minimal experience. Content of the Youth Module is the same as the US Soccer Youth License Course and is age specific, U6-U10. Focus of the certificate courses is for the parent coach & new coaches who have little or no experience in the game of soccer. Just because one has PLAYED the game, does NOT mean the candidate knows and understands the application of the information in this course. The mission of the Youth Module is to provide the most current and advanced information on the growth and development of the youth soccer player.
