the bs of high cost coaching liceneces is another way of excluding otherwise qualified experienced volunteer coaches from participating & thus lowering the cost of club. its self inflation & job security. the bs of yth soccer licensing is just another hand in the till of raping soccer parents who ultimately pay for those inflated courses. it increases costs like no other sport in the country.
and hats off, kudos & attaboy to soccerforlife, your experience & dedication is not the norm in any sport.
