Are you interested in becoming licensed by the IYSA and USSF? The Indiana Youth Soccer Association offers several courses ranging from beginner to advanced. Becoming a licensed coach allows you to instruct at a higher competition level while getting involved with children and helping make a difference in your community. Here is a link to potential courses. If you are interested in going to a training as a group please contact LYSA via email to see if other members are also interested in attending a course with local coaches.
Referees
LYSA is always looking for licensed referees to assist and manage games in the spring.
Refereeing is a great opportunity for young and old to help out in the community, get involved with youth, gain references and leadership skills for future job or college interviews, and even make some money.
