Coach Development
The YRSA, through the Technical Department, offers a comprehensive coaching development program to help our coaches continually upgrade their skills and qualifications.
Primarily, this involves the co-ordination of the OSA's coaching certification program but also includes enhanced clinics to provide for specialized training. Click the "clinics" button on the left for the current clinic information.
Additionally, Bobby Lennox, the YRSA Technical Director, publishes a series of coaching newsletters, called "Balls, Bibs & Cones" and provides a number of soccer training links as a resource to our coaches.
