Coaching Information
Coaches, this should be your first stop for coaching information. If you are new to WASA, take a look at the First Time Coaching Information guide. We've also donated multiple coaching and training DVDs to the Westerville Public Library and they are available to check out if you have a library card.
Looking for practice ideas? Check out the Practice Plans and Activities section below or download the free app from Mojo Sports. The app is available for iOS and Android and provides a wealth of information from practice plans to team communication.
Another great learning resource are the coaching license courses offered by Ohio Soccer Association. Go to the OSA coaches page and explore their offerings (click on the Coaching Pathways link).

Coaches must complete the online concussion training class (see Concussion Management Training Information) and must pass the background screening process (see Risk Management Form Information).
