Registration is open now.
The E and D coaching licenses are required in order to coach competitive soccer at various levels in North Dakota and Minnesota. Both are excellent clinic sessions that will teach aspiring coaches great things about coaching soccer. The club will reimburse successful students the cost of the clinic if they coach for 1 year in the Fargo Soccer Club. One must obtain and hold the E license for one year prior to applying to undertake the D License. The Fargo Soccer Club encourages parent coaches.
The introductory E clinic will be held September 24-26. The clinic will consist of a 3-hour Friday night session followed by a 10-hour Saturday session and 5-hour Sunday session. The clinic consists of both classroom and field work. Participants should expect to coach and play soccer during this clinic. The E Clinic is open to anyone interested in learning more about soccer.
The cost is $150 prior to August 1, 2010; $200 afterwards. Those prices are effective for coaches in North Dakota or Minnesota. Higher fees apply for coaches outside of those 2 States.
