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
