Re: U.S. Soccer National “D” License
Dear Director of Coaching:
The U.S. Soccer National “D” License course has been revised and updated to incorporate the methodology changes made to the “C” License course in January 2006. The “D” License course now includes more time for practice coaching, expanded methodology, technique and elementary tactics, revised instructor field sessions and field topics, and new grading policies. The course also incorporates U.S. Soccer’s Best Practices for Soccer booklet.
All “D” license courses must incorporate the changes outlined in this memo. Courses that do not adhere to the new curriculum and utilize the updated “D” License manual will not be recognized by U.S. Soccer.
