Not really a good place to put this but... spent a little over 2 hours today taking U.S. Soccer's online Grassroots 4v4 coaching course. The replacement for the E or maybe F license. I can't remember. But I will say that it was surprisingly good for an online course. This is my third season coaching in a very low key church league, my daughter dropped after one season at 7 but my twin boys are on their second season at 6, and I wanted to look into what is recommended these days.
For $25 and a few hours you get a lot of resources and some much more modern techniques and concepts than the old skill drills I learned on. I'd recommend it for volunteer coaches with or without a soccer background to get ideas and outlines for running practices. If my boys stick with it I could see myself doing the other grassroots courses as they grow, even after I'm relegated to parent assistant.
