NSCAA Advanced Regional Diploma in Tuscaloosa
May 30 - June 1
There will be a
National Soccer Coaches Association of American
(NSCAA) Advanced Regional Diploma hosted in
Tuscaloosa the weekend of May 30, 31 and June 1.
It will take place at Tuskaloosa Nations Complex
off of Watermelon Road (see
attachment for directions). The course will
run from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon.
The course takes 21 hours to complete and will
be conducted by Jason
Neuman, a USSF A licensed coach and
certified instructor.
The NSCAA Advanced
Regional Diploma is a great beginner course into
a coaching education journey. The NSCAA way of
teaching coaching methodology is great for the
beginner or a soccer veteran. The class is
distinctive from the USSF D as it deals
primarily with technique in the first part and
then changes gears and the last day is focused
on systems of play up to 11 a side. Feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.
Please sign-up with
Zac Crawford. Feel free to send the application
(see
attachment) and check to the address to: Zac
Crawford, PO Box 20665, Tuscaloosa, AL 35402
[check will not be
cashed until after the course has completed].
Applications can also be
completed on the first day of the course. The
cost will be $90 and included will be a one year
membership with the NSCAA (which includes a
$1,000,000 liability policy for coaches). This
is a great opportunity to not only grow and
learn, but also to become a part of the largest
coaches association in the United States.
Please help spread the word!
Advanced Regional Diploma
(Course Description)
The Advanced Regional
Diploma is a 21-hour course designed as a

USSF Courses |
Alabama Youth Soccer
Association Courses:
Designed to meet the needs of today’s modern youth soccer
coach, Alabama Youth Soccer has established a
comprehensive Coaching Education Program that offers
a USSF-approved curriculum of courses for the "Youth
Module", "E", and "D" licenses. Through this effort,
Alabama Youth Soccer provides:
• A program in which coaches can earn state and
national coaching credentials
• A system which improves a coach’s knowledge of the
game, methodology, and teaching methods
• Valuable information and current coaching trends
state-wide, nationally, and internationally
The objective of the coaching licensing curriculum
is to provide all soccer coaches, from the beginner
to the advanced, with up-to-date theoretical and
practical knowledge, so that coaches in Alabama can
help ensure that players develop their fullest
potential.
All courses are taught by Alabama Youth Soccer State
Staff Coaches who hold a National Coaching License.
"D" Clinic instructors hold either an "A" or "B"
National Coaching License. Youth Module instructors
hold a National Youth License. All courses must be
scheduled through the Alabama Youth Soccer State
Office. A list is maintained at the State Office and
posted on our website. The "E" and "D" courses are
also offered in Spanish. Individuals wishing to
attend a course or clubs, leagues wishing to host a
course may do so by contacting Alabama Youth Soccer.
The philosophy of the coaching program is to help
you gain the most information from the courses,
staff coaches teach the essentials of soccer in an
optimal way. All candidates actively participate in
field sessions. Approximately two-thirds of each
course is comprised field sessions and the remaining
one-third as lectures. The intensity of the field
sessions is directly related to the level of the
course. The higher the course, the more hours
required on the field.
