Georgia Soccer recognizes the value of coaching education and its impact on player development.  The principle that players benefit when coached by knowledgeable coaches has been proven through experience and research.

The Georgia Soccer Coaching Education Program takes many forms and is designed to benefit coaches of all levels, from the novice to the professional.  The main components of the program are the Coaching School Formal Certification Courses and the On-Site Special Topics Clinics.  The Coaching School staff are nationally licensed professionals who have been selected based on their qualifications and experience as coaches and educators.  The coaching courses are recognized by US Soccer, the National governing body, and the state coaching licenses are valid throughout the country.

The Coaching Department of Georgia Soccer, headed by the Director of Coaching, also provides other educational programs for all members. The Coaching Dept conducts Parent Education Seminars and Club Administrators Seminars.  The Director of Coaching monitors and trains the State Coaching staff through Staff Development Workshops as well as interacts with the club coaching professionals through the Club DOC’s meetings.

In addition, the coaching section of the Georgia Soccer web site has a number of manuals, videos and articles that cover a broad range of topics on Player development.

 
All affiliated member leagues can request to host courses, seminars and clinics.  Please contact the Director of Coaching at jdaniel@gasoccer.org or the Coaching Administrator at tdaniel@gasoccer.org for more information.
