Canada Soccer has announced that 31 coaches have received or renewed their Coach Education Licences as part of its Coach Education Program’s update for February 2021. The recipients include former Men’s National Team player and LA Galaxy Assistant Coach Jason Bent, Valour FC Head Coach Rob Gale, Saskatchewan Soccer’s Manager of Coach Education Markus Reinkens, and a cohort of Canada Soccer B Licence recipients from across League1 Ontario clubs.
The Canada Soccer A Licence is the
top-level certification in the Performance Stream of Canada Soccer’s Coach
Education Program for coaches working with senior players in a
college/university, professional club or academy environment. The A Licence
fulfills the coach education requirements of the Canada Soccer Professional
Club Licence for the first-team Head Coach.
The Canada Soccer B Licence is the
entry point to the Performance Stream and continues the facilitation of
learning opportunities so that coaches may work effectively with senior players
in the Performance Stream pathway and prepares them to progress to the Canada
Soccer A Licence.
The Canada Soccer Children’s
Licence is an A Licence equivalent for coaches working with children between
the ages of 5-12. The Licence aims to provide coaches with the tools they need
to create the best development environments for as many players as possible at
their club/academy.
Canada Soccer Coach Education
Program Licences are valid for a three-year term.
