EYSC COACHING TRAINING
EYSC is committed to your continued coaching development and we ask that you take the time to attend coaching clinics in order to further strengthen and benefit the training of EYSC players, as well as make your time coaching more worthwhile and beneficial. EYSC will cover the costs of the successful completion of coaching clinics sponsored by Washington State Youth Soccer Association (up to D level license).

Depending on your teams and age groups, we ask that all coaches work to obtain WSYSA coaching certification appropriate to the age level that you will be coaching. If you already have this certification - congratulations! Please see the following link for a list of WSYSA sponsored clinics and contact information:

We ask that coaches come prepared to participate on the field as appropriate.
