On-Line Training
Nothing can replace hands-on training, but if you simply do not have time to attend one of the training courses offered locally, Safe Haven training as well as U-6 Coach, U-8 Coach and the classroom portion of U-10 Coach are offered on-line. Once you have registered as an AYSO volunteer through your region and have received your AYSO ID, you can visit www.aysotraining.org to take the on-line training courses that AYSO offers.
