COACHING AYSO UNITED
AYSO United coaches are placed in an environment where development is prioritized over winning and players are required to play 50% playing time. This structure ensures that coaches can develop players and teams without outside pressure as they look to create the ultimate development experience. We encourage professional growth and continued education both in AYSO, USSF and other coaching education programs. Upon successful completion, AYSO United West Michigan will reimburse our Coaching Staff’s fees paid to US Soccer or accredited coaching license entities for obtaining higher levels of coaching education.
