ADVANCED REGIONAL DIPLOMA COURSE

2007 NSCAA Advanced Regional Diploma a Success at the NSC

A great weekend of coaching education! Thanks to the NSCAA and Alan Merrick for such a fine coaching course. 

Coaches Testimonials from 2007 Course

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the course you offered. I think it should be mandatory for all coaches prior to coaching. As coaches we really play a vital role in player's development and life for that matter so it is therefore imperative that we understand the game thoroughly and how to apply it. The only regret I have is I wish I would have taken it sooner.

  • Jacob from St. Paul

 

Great course, thanks for putting this all together for us. Alan was a blast and I personally learned a lot and had a great time.

  • Steve from TC Fire

 

Thanks to all who participated in the program.  We look forward to keeping up with you as you further your soccer coaching knowledge and experience. The NSC Soccer Academy is proud to assist in educating America’s finest soccer coaches.

Course Description

The Advanced Regional Diploma is a 21-hour course designed as a supplement to the Regional Diploma, adding eight hours devoted to the study of systems of play and a practice teaching component. Participants are given an opportunity to conduct a training session on an assigned topic and are assessed by the course instructor. 

 

There is no prerequisite course needed to apply. Participation in field demonstrations is highly recommended but not mandatory.
