With the goal of placing an emphasis on the girls youth game through the G3 initiative, NJYS is determined to introduce more females to opportunities within the game and help to grow female participation in administration, coaching, refereeing and playing.

To increase coaching numbers, the NJYS Coaching School is proud to offer scholarships for the Y Course, C Course, D License, Grassroots License, and State Certification Course. For more information, please see below.

In collaboration with WAGS and other NJYS partners, female coaches will be eligible for full reimbursement for courses.
