AYSO Offers a Complete Menu of Clinics

This table gives the locations and times for the various clinics in our vicinity. If possible, pre-register with the designated contact person, as it helps us provide the appropriate number of instructors, hand-out materials, etc. They can also give you driving instructions.

U6/U8 / U10 Clinics These are three-hour clinics for coaches of U6, U8, and U10 teams. Coaches should come prepared to participate in field activity and take notes. Coaches should bring a properly-inflated ball, preferably a size 5, sun block, and water. A coach may choose any of these clinics, although since the rules of play for these age groups vary from region to region, you should try to attend one in your home region.
