Equipment and uniforms will also be handed out during the sessions. Rosters are not handed out during these sessions. Instead, we email them once each division has all of the required coaches.

USSF & NSCAA Coaching Education

Our Education Policy

For state and regional courses and lower (USSF “F”, “E” & “D” certificates and NSCAA Youth & Junior Level diplomas) that Augusta FC hosts, the club will pay for the minimum number of seats needed to guarantee the course is not canceled. 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%. Coaches need to submit proof of payment along with a copy of the course license to be reimbursed.

For national and residential level courses (USSF "C" License, USSF National Youth and NSCAA National Diploma and higher), coaches are eligible to be reimbursed on a case by case basis following completion of the course. Coaches need to submit proof of payment along with a copy of the course license.

We will be hosting a USSF "D" License course the weekends of July 22nd & July 29th. This is a two weekend course and is a required course for U13 and above coaches by 8/31/12.
