WYSA is excited to support all coaches in their coaching pathway. Whether you are a brand new coach, or a coach looking to gain more experience, WYSA will provide financial reimbursement for approved courses. 

All coaches with WYSA are required to take a coaching course for their appropriate age group they coach through BC Soccer (BCSA). Please review the info below, and let Jason (WYSA Technical Director - td@wysa.ca) know if you have any questions:

BC SOCCER COACH CERTIFICATION COURSES

We have provided the dome to COYSA on March 30 for certification courses in West Kelowna. These will fill up quickly as they are open to all clubs in the region, so please sign up ASAP. There are other courses possible, but this is nice to have in our backyard of course. Once you complete the course, you should submit that completion confirmation and WYSA will reimburse you for any course fees. These are the courses available, and if you have any questions please reach out to Jason.
