The Course:

"E" Level Coaching License (Prerequisite: none)

Time: 18 hours
Recommended for coaching players 11-14 years old.

In this age group, the philosophy is devoted to refining the player’s technical abilities under game conditions: match- related exercises, pressure from opponents, limited time and space. Basic tactics are taught at the individual and small group levels (up to 5v5), as well as basic principles of attack and defense: creating space, mobility, width, height, support, team shape, etc. Also, there are sessions on care and prevention of injuries and the laws of the game. Practice sessions are evaluated and candidates must complete a written exam.

At the "E" Course, candidates are assessed through written tests AND a practical on the field. All candidates who compete the requirements of the "E" course will be awarded an "E" Certificate/License, however only those candidates receiving a (P)ass on the field assessment will be eligible to enroll in the "D" (after a period of 1 year). Those candidates who do not, will need to be (R)e-evaluated on the field (after a period of 1 year) at a future "E" Course at no cost.

Please note that the purpose of the waiting period is to allow those coaches who chose to move on and take the "D", ample time to practice and apply the ideas and information learned in the "E" and previous coaching education courses.

Candidates who wish to enroll in the E License Course should download the Candidate Manual. Candidates can use the lesson plans and topics in the manual and implement the practices with their teams/players prior to the course.
