G license course for soccer coaches
The Harvard Soccer Club will be offering a Massachusetts Youth Soccer G license course on Sunday, Feb. 12, from 8 a.m. to noon in the Bromfield School gymnasium.
The G course is designed to guide coaches of players that are 6 to 8 years old. It introduces coaches to principles and methodologies that will prove invaluable in coaching youth soccer players at all ages and levels of competition. Coaches of other age groups may also benefit from this course, the soccer club says. Also, the club says, this is a great time for parents of children that will be U6 players next year to take that step to becoming a soccer coach volunteer. You do not need to be an expert on the game of soccer.
Participants should come to the course dressed to play—ready to take to the gym floor and participate in some activities. Bring a soccer ball, water, notebook and pen or pencil.
Registration is $35; however after successful completion of the course, the Harvard Soccer Club will reimburse participants the entire fee.
To register, go to the Harvard Soccer Club website, or directly to the Mass Youth Soccer Website (idevforms.americaneagle.com/youthsoccer/form576556427/secure_index.html) and select the Harvard location.
