Coach Development

Canada Soccer is responsible for the development and certification of all coaches working with players across all environments in Canada through its Coach Education & Certification.

The Russell Soccer Club will reimburse the fees for all necessary coach certifications and courses after successful completion.

All coaches must submit course information to the Club Head Coach for approval before registering.
