Additional ‘B’ courses will be hosted July-December and announced at a later date.

Coaches wishing to take the ‘B’ course must meet the eligibility criteria for the course, be committed to completing the 120+ hours of coursework, which includes virtual meetings and two in-person meetings, as well as coach an age-appropriate team (U-13+) for the entirety of the course. Coaches are required to attend all sessions of the course, therefore, when searching the available courses, coaches are strongly encouraged to review the complete course schedule listed in each individual course description before registering.

Coaches who think they may be eligible for a waiver into the ‘B’ course based on international coaching licenses or professional playing experience must review the waiver FAQs document via the U.S. Soccer Learning Center. The document contains the instructions for the waiver process. US Club Soccer does not process waivers for courses.

US Club Soccer offers multiple stages of a coach’s licensing pathway, beginning with grassroots and progressing through ‘D,’ ‘C’ and now ‘B’ licenses. It also facilitates off-the-field developmental opportunities and resources for coaches, including complimentary curriculum from WeCOACH, Coaching HER,  Onrise Care and Aiberry that help make the game more accessible for girls and women in sports and offer mental health support specifically for coaches.

U.S. Soccer ‘B’ courses are the highest level of technical coach education US Club Soccer offers. It is considered among the “Pro Pathway” of U.S. Soccer’s coach licensing pathway, and as such, coach candidates are prepped to work with youth (U-13+) or senior teams in a performance environment. Course goals include applying and evaluating team and player development related to a game model, as well as analyzing, evaluating and optimizing the learning environment for the team and individual players.
