How to sign-up for a Coach Course (6U – 10U Coaches): This is in two parts: registering for the ONLINE classwork, and the LIVE fieldwork. Important: Review the Coach Page of our website (link here), to find an appropriate Field Session to attend. In our Region both online and in-person portions need to be completed to be considered ready-to-coach.
1. Login to www.aysou.org. You will need to use the same login you used to register as a volunteer via www.aysosm.org (also known as Blue Sombrero).
2. Select the eCommerce option on the menu bar. This is where all of the Online Content is hosted (except for Safe Haven & Concussion – you will find them under “Free Content”.)
3. Select the appropriate course and click “See Details”. In the example here, we are an 8U coach. For this age-group this is the only coach-specific training course we need.
