U.S. Soccer Coaching Education Announces 2024 B License Courses

Nevada Youth Soccer has been selected to host a USSF B License in Las Vegas Nevada July-December 2024. Visit the learning center for more information regarding dates, locations, and requirements.

FRISCO, Texas (November —, 2023) – US Youth Soccer (USYS) and its State Associations will host U.S. Soccer ‘B’ coach licensing courses for the first time in 2024. Twenty-three ‘B’ courses were approved by U.S. Soccer and will be held in person by multiple State Associations across four U.S. time zones throughout the year, beginning in March. The U.S. Soccer ‘B’ License is part of the Pro Pathway of U.S. Soccer’s coach licensing system, with the courses’ purpose to prepare coaches to work with youth (U13+) or senior teams in a performance environment. Some of the course objectives include the implementation and optimization of designed training sessions to facilitate player learning, preparing an age-appropriate game plan aligned to the game model, and creating a positive and safe environment that encourages respect, inclusivity and belonging. “We are thrilled for our State Associations to host these ‘B’ courses next year,” said US Youth Soccer Director of Sport Development Tom Condone. “This is a monumental step in continuing the effort from our State Technical Directors as they work to deliver courses at all levels and provide continued development opportunities for coaches. We are thankful to U.S. Soccer for allowing us to provide these courses to our membership.”

CHICAGO (Nov. 7, 2023 )— Continuing in its mission to foster the best playing environments,
U.S. Soccer Coaching Education has finalized the locations for the 2024 B License Course. As the
Federation works with its membership to increase the number of coaches in the country, 2024
will mark the largest offering of the B License with 40 courses planned by 25 organizations in 24
different states.

Applicants can register through the U.S. Soccer Learning Center and directly contact the host
member organization for more information.

“We’re continuing to see significant interest in the B License, and that is a credit to our
members for making the course more accessible,” U.S. Soccer Director of Coaching Didier
Chambaron said. “As more coaches get the opportunity to develop, the new course structure
offers growth throughout the entire process and allows for more sustainable learning.”

The B course will be organized during a six-month period (January to June and July to December
2024) and will consist of a combination of virtual learning and in-person meetings. The two
planned in-person meetings will take place through four-day periods.

Female applicants accepted into the B course will have 50 percent of their tuition waived
thanks to the Jill Ellis Scholarship Fund, which was established in the fall of 2019.
Participants in U.S. Soccer Coaching Education courses will have the opportunity to earn a
nationally recognized license from U.S. Soccer, a FIFA national member association, and the
governing body of soccer in all its forms in the United States.
