Coaching Certification refers to a coach being able to complete a coaching course and gain advancement of knowledge at a particular level that would better his or her skills in the teaching the game of soccer thus becoming certified.  (Example of coaching course – Community Coach Children)

Registration:  Every coach, assistant coach, manager, and volunteer parent or volunteer participating in any on field activities with the team has to be registered and insured through SSA.  This does not mean certified with the correct coaching certification but registered to show due diligence in terms of insurance and registered to help the operations of the association in offering grass roots programming, referee & coaching clinics and the day to day operations that exist in running the SSA.

The SSA is pleased to make the following recommendations for coaching levels throughout the province ~ which will become mandatory Nov 2010. The children will only benefit from any additional certification and will make them not only better players but will optimize and enhance their experiences playing soccer.  This is why the SSA would like to and is striving to achieve programming throughout the province where each team should have a coach with proper certification present during all team activities and events.
