NHSA - Partners in Education
New Hampshire Soccer Association (NHSA) wants to encourage all of
our coaches to pursue the newly developed U.S. Soccer Federation coaching
education pathway. With a complete pathway almost finished from Youth - Pro,
the U.S. Soccer Federation coaching education is the preferred pathway for all
coaches throughout New Hampshire.
We have multiple soccer organizations in America; U.S. Soccer
Federation, U.S. Youth Soccer and the NSCAA. New Hampshire has approximately 23,000 members, and coaching
education is a huge part of what we are involved in as "we are the office
for education, information, and guidance."The process of education can sometimes be confusing to coaches,
the chart below aims to help sort through of the coaching
education pathway in our country.
Coaching Education is a journey..... and by offering a 'larger
menu' on the local level, we can now reach all level of learners, and provide
more options of further their education. This will clearly benefit NHSA members
and non-members.
How
will it benefit NHSA members?
Quite
simply – it just makes sense. One stop shopping –The ability to go to one site
and research a master statewide calendar of all soccer educational courses,
licenses and special events in New Hampshire.
“The
better the coaches, the better the players. This approach drives the 'Coaches
Education' message, and hopefully will the
7 out of 10 players leaving the game by age 13. More education coaches can impact on the enjoyment and
training of players at the grassroots level. Ideally,
this should lead to more longevity in the sport. More longevity in the sport
increases participation in the beautiful game."
