U.S. Soccer has announced that the application window for fall 2023 B coaching courses will open on Thursday, March 16 at 12 p.m. CT.
U.S. Soccer will organize 11 B courses across the country, the most ever offered in one window, with four taking place at the Compass Minerals National Performance Center in Kansas City, Kansas.
“We are very excited about the significant interest in the B course,” said Didier Chambaron, U.S. Soccer Director of Coaching Education. ”The new course structure offers growth throughout the entire process of the course and allows for more sustainable learning,”
The B course will be organized over a six-month period (July to December 2023) and will consist of a combination of virtual learning and in-person meetings. The two planned in-person meetings will each take place over four-day periods in August/September and November.
Female applicants accepted into the B course will have 50 percent of their tuition waived thanks to the Jill Ellis Scholarship Fund, established in the fall of 2019.
The application window will run from March 16-31. Interested applicants should review the course details and pre-application checklist in the bullet points below. All applications must be submitted through the U.S. Soccer Learning Center.
Participants in U.S. Soccer Coaching Education courses will have the opportunity to earn a nationally recognized diploma and a three-year license from U.S. Soccer, a FIFA national association member, and the governing body of soccer in all its forms in the United States.
