National Coaching Licenses

Skyline encourages all of its Coaches to become licensed and reimburses its coaches for the cost of obtaining a State Youth License and/or CYS's State Level "E" and "D" License. Any coach who attends the annual CYS Coaching Symposium will be reimbursed for the cost of the registration fee by the Club upon presentation of proof of attendance, as well.

The United States Soccer Federation coaching program starts with an entry level "E" license and moves progressively through to the level "A" course. Colorado Youth Soccer administers the "E" & "D" level courses and US Soccer Federation administers the "C", "B" & "A" level courses.
