The Michigan State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA) will be hosting a u6 and u8 Youth Module coaches clinic in Traverse City in January.  Youth modules are geared toward first-year coaches, or coaches with little experience in working with u6 and u8 players; experienced coaches will also benefit from attending.  Course content includes information on the developmental differences of players, ideas about how to organize practices and game days, practical activities and stimulating games for practices, and brief demonstrations of basic techniques.

We encourage interested candidates to register AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  Please see the information below.
