The Intermediate and Advanced Coach courses are designed to be presented using U-14 and U-19 players as demonstrators. Coaches in attendance should see how a professional works with a particular age group and experience the rigors of the game…


The Intermediate Coaching course is a 15 hour course designed to link the technical aspects of the game with the ability of players to read the game.

This course also links short sided play to the full 11-a-side game.

The teaching plan is the Intermediate Coaching Manual. Your instructor notes are your presentation guide (yes, there are instructor notes)…


Intermediate Coaching Course

Players (U-14) must be used as demonstrators for this course

Cover the main points and move on

You don’t have time to clean techniques in this courseYou will want to – but don’t…



Time Management is essential to a successful course

Stick to your plan and teach the manual…



All coaches at this level must understand how they can incorporate these four elements into their training sessions:

SkillsTacticsConditioningPsychological motivation…



At this level coaches must:Develop a proper attitude with their playersMake each player feel importantMake training enjoyable and rewarding for playersUnderstand each player’s strengths and weaknessesProvide proper role model…



Motivation strategies should be adopted to the age of the players involved (U-14 to U-16)

While the fundamental concepts remain the same, the coach will want to adopt different styles as influenced by the age of the player…



In the U-13 to U-16 age group there are some characteristics to consider:

Boys/Girls – are they the same?Period of physical change accompanied by mental unrestMostly better players remain in the sportNeed for strong peer acceptanceDesire to improve skillsPlayers become vocal and opinionated…



Coaching Cycle –Explain that an understanding of the Coaching Cycle is a key ingredient for all successful coachesYou must cover, in detail, every aspect of the Coaching Cycle

Note:– So YOU must know and understand the Coaching

Cycle…



Principles of Play -

It is critical that all attendees understand the Principles of Play and how the Principles must be incorporated into their training sessions…



System of Play –

Stress that any system of play must fit the players, the players cannot fit the system of play (cover systems of play from the Intermediate Manual)…



Characteristics by Position –

When discussing positional play, ensure that the coaches fully understand the areas of responsibility are far more important than assigning players a position. Explain why to the coaches…


Teaching the Advanced Coach Course…


Advanced Coach Course

The Advanced Coach Course is an 18 hour course with an emphasis on analysis

Players (U-16 or U-19) must be used when delivering this course

The Advanced Coach Course currently represents the end product for many AYSO coaches…



Teaching the Advanced Coach Course –While the emphasis in previous courses requires the instructor to deliver largely technical material, the Advanced Coach course instructor has to also serve as a facilitator for discussion and evaluation among the participants…



As in all other AYSO Coaching Courses – time is the enemy…



The Advanced Coach manual is not a stand-alone item. Do not give the students the manual until the end of the course.

Tie your presentation to the manual so the participants can more effectively use the manual as a reference tool…



In order to accomplish all the activities in this course, you must schedule players no younger than U-16 to assist (and bring a lot of them)…



Coaches want to get it done – most don’t have the skills or stamina to achieve the desired outcomeThis course again is about analysis, not about whether or not the coaches can playThe coaches can’t be doing an analysis if they are playingAlways give the participants a clear overview of the course objectives…



TESTS!! There is a pre-test and a post-course test for the Advanced Coach courseGive the pre-test right after you give your introductions (surprise them)Post-test given at the end of the course…



Qualities of a CoachMost of the coaches at this level understand what qualities of a coach AYSO considers to be appropriateYou should show appreciation that they are experienced coaches but challenge them to use all of their knowledge to keep the game fun (enjoyable)…



Coaching Chemistry –Remind coaches at this level that team chemistry becomes almost as important as team and individual abilitiesCoaches at this level should and must use all of the knowledge and experiences that they have acquired while also remembering that they will have players that might be below average in abilityRemind all in attendance that good coaches can and do communicate at all levels to players of varying abilities…



Principles of Play –

The session on Principles of Play must only be a review. You will not have time to teach them in this courseSpend no more than 20 minutes and present it prior to the Observation/Evaluations session…



Injury Prevention –

Even though this is listed as a lecture, you can take this unit and cover it with the warm-up at the first field session…



Observation and Evaluation (classroom) –This is the session where you will act more like a moderator trying to get opinions on whether or not the diagrams show the principles of play are being observedPart of the learning process for the students will be for some disagreement to occur (all coaches don’t see everything the same way)Your role is to guide the group to an understanding of how to observe the principles of play in action…



Observation and Evaluation (on the field) –

This session separates the Advanced Coaching Course from any other AYSO coaching course because it places an emphasis on observation and communication…



Observation and Evaluation (on the field) –Divide the coaches into equal groups and ask them to design a player evaluation tool – (30 minutes)Have the coaches now evaluate the players using their group’s evaluation toolAsk if everything a U-19 player needs to play the game were evaluated…



Observation and Evaluation (on the field) –Keep the same groups but have each group evaluate one player on only one skill that should be evaluated (play 6v6 with keepers)After a few minutes (long enough to get a good picture of the player being evaluated), give the coaches a moment to organize their thoughts and notes while the players rest…



NOTE:When teams of youth players are brought in to demonstrate, make sure the players and their coaches are aware of the course procedures and that the evaluation process will be positive but that it is a learning environment for the coaches attending the course…



NOTE:As the coaches get the idea, start asking for more. Don’t allow comments like “it was a poor pass” to stand alone

Ask “why was it a poor pass”? What technical and/or tactical elements were at fault?...



Observation and Evaluation Check List –Now introduce the checklists that are included in the manual

Stress to the coaches how much easier it is to evaluate something if you know what you are looking for…



Observation and Evaluation Check List -There is an observation and evaluation check list for each of the following areas:

Ball controlDribblingPassingShooting (finishing)Shape/OrganizationGoalkeeping…



Observation and Evaluation Check List –Now give each coach an observation and evaluation check list for one of the skills that requires an evaluationNow have the players play 6v6 with keepers. Ask the coaches what they saw and was it easier when a skill was isolated?Repeat for each skill…



Now you need to fix the problems (on the field) –

Use the activities in the manualMake sure the coaches know what you are fixing or attempting to fix…



Fixing the problems –Ball controlDribblingPassingShooting (finishing)Shape/OrganizationGoalkeeping…



Restarts and Set Pieces –Be sure to cover all the restarts and include all applicable laws or changes to the lawsDon’t get stuck doing an hour on the kick-offCoach both attacking and defending the restarts and remember the time you have is limitedStress that a team cannot do tactically what they cannot do technically…



Shooting (finishing) –Make sure that the finishing drills and games that you use are progressive in nature, using build-up to go from simple games to complexGoalkeepers and defenders should be introduced to simulate game conditionsDon’t hesitate to include the technical and tactical objectives of these last two positions in this process…



Goalkeeping –When addressing goalkeeping, use this time to cover skills and tactics that need to be presented directly from the manualGet trained keepers, if possible, for demonstrations and drills…



Laws of the Game –

Consider getting a National or Section Referee to present this portion of the course…



Laws of the Game – must be covered:17 LawsThe Spirit of the GamePhilosophy of ReferringRemember, you did some laws during

Restarts and Set Pieces…
