Coach Certification

The Ottawa Internationals strongly recommends continuous learning and would like our coaches to take one new course every year.

New Rules

Effective December the CSA has changed the coaching courses, as follows:

• Children's 9 hours (5 theory and 4 practical) Formerly Youth 1

All courses will be held at Hillcrest High School

Please note that coaches must attend the clinics in the proper sequence, Children's, then Youth, then Senior. You are not permitted to take the Children's and skip the Youth and complete the senior.  This is mandated by the OSA!!

About the clinics:

1. A Pizza lunch will be provided.
2. All coaches will be asked to participate in soccer drills, so dress appropriately; No marking indoor shoes, etc.
3. Please also bring : Paper and pen and a soccer ball.
4. Minimum age requirements to attend these clinics are 16 years of age.

Please print and send in the Registrions Form. You will not be added to the list until we have received your application form and payment.

Our club intendeds to make the courses “free” to volunteer soccer coaches of the Ottawa Internationals SC (DSP, Recreation, Competitive). However; only coaches who will have a team playing in the East Region Soccer League are required to obtain their Senior Certification.

We encourage all other coaches and assistant coaches to partake in at least at a least one coaching session a year, however in order for the coach or assistant coach to register, he/she must get approval by the respective VP. (VP will only approve the payment of the coaching certification, if he is part of the coaching stable.)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me our Club Administrator.

Thank you.
