Upon applying, coaches will be provided with further details regarding location, times and more.  

The focus of the C License is on the individual player in the different contexts of the game, as we try to develop their decision making and build their level of execution. Coaches learn to develop their sessions based on their players and their developmental objectives. They learn to devise, organize, conduct, and evaluate coaching sessions in basic skills, tactics, and strategies.

It is aimed at coaches working with players who are starting, or still learning and developing, as players. Coaches should be coaching in a competitive environment, as defined by the Canada Soccer Player Pathway.

The requirements for coaches to apply to the C License course are that they must provide proof of: completion of the Learn to Train OR Soccer for Life course(s) AND Making Ethical Decisions, Respect in Sport, and Making Head Way in Soccer.
