NJYS State Certificate Course

The NJYS State Certificate Course, formerly known as the F-Course examines safety considerations, emergency planning, injury care and prevention, and significant coaching responsibilities of the coach responsible for players within travel programs. An introduction is provided to foster understanding of player-centered and developmentally appropriate coaching for those engaged within the long-term player development process.

  • Teach players technique and keeping tactics simple and minimal.  
  • Learn methods used in teaching the techniques of dribbling, shooting, passing and receiving, heading, defending, and goalkeeping.  
  • Help players learn in a fun and educational environment 
  • Give players skill repetition, and the use of small-sided games.  
  • Learn practical first aid and criteria for running a safe and healthy program

This course meets the requirements of the New Jersey Little League Law P.L. 1988, Chapter 87 (NJSA C.2A:62A 6) relating to immunity from liability unless willful, wanton, or grossly negligent.
