Coaches Education
Our Education Policy
For state and regional courses and lower (USSF “F”, “E” & “D” certificates and NSCAA State, Regional & Advanced Regional diplomas) that Augusta FC hosts, the club will pay for the minimum number of seats needed to guarantee the course is not cancelled. The club will also pay for all current coaches and those scheduled to coach the next season. These fees will be paid directly to the instructor and not reimbursed to coaches.
For state and regional courses and lower (see above) that the club does not host, current coaches and those scheduled to coach the next season will be reimbursed 100%. These coaches need to submit proof of payment along with a copy of the course license to be reimbursed.
For national level courses, coaches are eligible to be reimbursed on a case by case basis after one year of service to the club following completion of the course. These coaches need to submit proof of payment along with a copy of the course license following the year of service.

Coaching Education Summer 2008 Brochure
This is an excellent opportunity to get the “E” or the Advanced Regional in your own backyard. These courses are FREE to any current or upcoming Augusta FC coach or assistant coach. Please be aware that these courses are also the minimum requirement for travel level coaching if that is your goal.
We are fortunate to have two excellent instructors for these courses. Matt Badiee is the USSF “E” instructor. Matt runs the State ODP program and was the 2003 VA coach of the year. He’s a great instructor. We are also fortunate to have Ben Freakley as the instructor for the NSCAA course. Ben is the VMI head men’s soccer coach. He is also part of the NSCAA national coaching staff, is the NSCAA State Technical Director for VA and a member of the state ODP coaching staff.
