Canada Soccer announces C Licence program for League1 Ontario Women’s players

Canada Soccer has announced that 40 League1 Ontario Women’s
​players will be trained in a unique female-led Canada Soccer C Licence course.
​Four female Canada Soccer Coach Developers will be assigned to provide the 40
​players with their first coaching qualification. Each player will conduct the
​training online-only, in respect of COVID-19 restrictions, along with Respect
​in Sport – Activity Leader, Make Ethical Decisions, and Making Headway modules
​to meet the Soccer Safe Sport requirements for the Canada Soccer Coach
​Education Licence Program.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to provide these young
​female players and leaders with their first Canada Soccer Coach Educations
​Program training to support the continued efforts that we have been making to
​encourage more females in coaching roles in the game,” said Jason deVos, Canada
​Soccer’s Director of Development. “Developing the future female leaders of the
​game in our own backyard is a vital step toward continuing Canada Soccer’s
​legacy at the leading edge of women’s football that stretches all the way back
​to formation of the Women’s National Team program in 1986.”

The Canada Soccer C Licence is the first step on the Coach
​Education Licence Program pathway and prepares the coach to progress to the
​Development Stream (Children), Development Stream (Youth) or Performance Stream
​(Senior). The C Licence involves the facilitation of learning opportunities for
​the coach to develop an understanding of the coaching process.

Canada Soccer Coach Education Licence Program licences have
​a three-year validity. For more information on Canada Soccer’s Coach Education
