COACHES
want to be a coach?
The SCYSA relies on parents and community volunteers to coach our youth teams. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the form below, or indicate your volunteer task on your child's registration.
Coach Development
The SCYSA will be hosting the below CSA/BCSA courses for all coaches at the start of the 2023/24 soccer season. If you have previously taken the applicable coaching course, you do not need to retake it.
Canada Soccer has made coach education more accessible by dividing the courses into two parts: Canada Soccer Association (CSA) Part 1: Theory Component, and British Columbia Soccer Association (BCSA) Part 2: On-Field Component. The Theory Component, can be taken online at any time prior to the On-Field Component. SCYSA will host the On-Field Component at the beginning of the soccer season as per the dates below.
