Through its unique designation as an official BCSA District Development Centre (for more details click here) the North Shore Soccer Development Center is licensed to offer the Community Coach Certification series to the North Shore club coaches.

The NSSDC member clubs, North Shore Girls, Lions Gate Soccer Ass., Lynn Valley Soccer Ass. and Mount Seymour Soccer Ass. takes advantage of this opportunity by providing all its club coaches a mandatory coach certification program beginning at the U-6 / U-7 entry level.

This program is now in its 8th year and is proud to have placed over 500 North Shore coaches on the official CSA / BCSA coach certification path.

What it means to you as a coach of the team and also you as parent of each player

At the beginning of each new season in September the new U-7 coaches and players come in to the NSSDC center on alternate Saturdays to work with the Licensed NSSDC Staff coaches. The teams and its coaches will participate in 6 Saturday on field sessions for 1.5 hours ending in December.

Prior to the start of the program the NSSDC will provide each club coach an official program curriculum guide which will be delivered both electronically and on the NSSDC website in the form of easy to understand lesson plans. The club team coaches will also be offered an on field coaching clinic to prepare them for the course. Once the season begins NSSDC Staff will provide ongoing mentorship to the club coaches.
