All coaches, regardless of which season they coach, will need to obtain a minimum of a Level F license.  Level F licenses are obtained via an online tutorial.  Any coach coaching at the competitive level in spring will need to obtain a minimum of a Level E license.  All coaches are encouraged to continue training to obtain a higher level license.  RLYS will pay for all levels training.  Once you complete a course, and receive a certificate, the club will reimburse your expenses, including a per diem for those traveling to a session out of town.

Coaches & Assistant Coaches will need to have a background check and complete a concussion tutorial before they are cleared by MYSA to coach.  Training on gotsoccer.com will be given so you can access this information as well as your team rosters.  At the start of each season, the coach is responsible for ensuring the Team Book is complete. If all forms are not complete for a player, that player cannot take the field, even for practices.
