Coaching Certification Requirements in 2018
Starting in 2017 the former Senior Certification will no longer be valid for any coach. Please be advised that it is mandatory that all competitive coaches upgrade their certification to the Soccer For Life course.
The Making Headway online concussions e-Learning certificate will also be mandatory for ALL coaches. Making headway is an e-Learning series from Coach.ca
This is a free module to gain knowledge and skills to recognize concussions and ensure the safety of players. The training will be noted on coach transcripts as Professional Development.
Please see the OS Information Bulletin I2016-024 in the below link

The R.I.S. (Respect in Soccer) certificates must be upgraded every 5 years.
Please see the OSA Information Bulletin I2016-032
You are advised to register for the correct certification clinic for the age you will be coaching.
Coaching requirements for all coaches Under 12 are being aligned to meet the requirements of the Recreational and Development Matrices.
