Dr. Bret Sanders (coach of NELSA Force – U12 Girls Premier team) and Bruce Deaton (assistant coach/trainer of NELSA Extreme – U17 Girls Division 1 team) recently completed and successfully obtained their United States Soccer Federation (USSF) National Youth Licenses.

The National Youth License focuses upon the nature of children and the adjustments adults must make to coach them. The course curriculum covers the ages of 4-12 year olds. Each day of the course, the focus is upon one of the traditional soccer age groups of U-6, U-8, U-10 or U-12. The course combines both classroom (theory) and field (practical) sessions and concludes with written, oral and practical examinations.

Congratulations Bret and Bruce!
