Ontario Soccer, in consultation with Canada Soccer and public health authorities have been monitoring the most recent developments of COVID-19 and are currently assessing operations (postponements and cancellations) on a month-to-month basis as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold.

Ontario Soccer has previously announced that some Coaching Courses were moving online in 2020.

Ontario Soccer is pleased to announce that the upcoming C Licence Courses, which were originally scheduled in Vaughan, London and Niagara Falls, will now see the majority of the course delivered online.

The focus of the C Licence 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 the players they have and their developmental objectives. They learn to devise, organize, conduct, and evaluate coaching sessions in basic skills, tactics, and strategies.

Coaches who obtain a C Licence Certification will have the qualifications to be a Head Coach in some Regional Leagues, the OASL, and an Assistant Coach in the OPDL.

What are the pre-requisites?

Prior to registering for the C Licence course, coaches must have completed the following:

• Learn to Train OR Soccer for Life
• Make Ethical Decisions Course + Make Ethical Decisions Online Evaluation
