Good coaches are the building blocks of great players. This is a core belief of the RYS Board of Directors. RYS wants to invest in the development of our coaches and volunteers. Per policy, we reimburse coaches 100% of their training costs (see policy in our by-laws).

RYS is promoting Massachusetts Youth Soccer coach training. RYS encourages all coaches, assistant coaches, and any parents thinking about coaching to start by taking the “F Level” on-line training course. Our goal is to get all coaches and assistant coaches to complete this entry level course. This can be done from your home or office, on your schedule. You can complete this course at the following web site: https://dcc.ussoccer.com/courses/available/1/all/details/1/
