Canada Soccer has opened registration for its 2021 Coach
Education Program. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, all courses in 2021 will be
completed in an online format. In addition to Canada Soccer A, B, Youth, and
Children’s Licence offerings, a new Youth Licence – Goalkeeping course has been
launched in 2021.

“Providing coaches with a flexible learning environment in
respect of public health protocols was a priority in launching the 2021 Coach
Education schedule,” said Jason deVos, Canada Soccer’s Director of Development.
“Building on the success of our pivot to online learning at the beginning of
the pandemic, we’re confident that we can continue to expand the course
frequency and specific coach offerings to ensure that we continue to serve the
needs of players, families, coaches, and clubs from coast-to-coast.”

Following a year in which the total coaches trained in the
licensing stream reached nearly 400, the Coach Education Program adds a new
course for the third straight year. After the introduction of the Youth Licence
for coaches working full-time with players aged 13-17 and the Children’s
Licence for coaches working full-time with players up to the age of 12, the
Youth Licence – Goalkeeping is for coaches working full-time with goalkeepers
aged 13-17.

Canada Soccer is also expanding its combined Canada Soccer
C/B Licence Program for National Teams players in collaboration with the
Canadian Premier League and its clubs in 20201. The program will see up to five
players per club eligible for the unique program designed to provide
professional players with a Canada Soccer B Licence that respects their
tactical acumen and provides them with the tools to develop players and teams.
