The Long Island Junior "A" Course is designed for those coaches who will be coaching and training youth soccer players from U16 to U19.  The course starts with a review of the "B" course and goes on to the philosophy of the modern game.  Other topics are as follows: Group and team play, Counter Attacks, Midfield Principles, Defensive Principles, Fitness, Player Identification and Evaluation, Advanced Shooting, Goalkeeping, 4v2, Heading, 3v3, and Small Sided Games. Although this course is directed toward travel coaches we encourage those Intramural coaches who will be coaching and training the above age groups to also take this course. Successful participants will receive a LIJSL "A" License.
