“You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward.”

— Conrad Hall

Whether you are just beginning your coaching career or have been coaching for a long time, you should always look for educational
opportunities to further your coaching knowledge. GSA has partnered with Ohio South Youth Soccer Association to bring many coaching
education courses right here to Gahanna.

GSA Hosted US Soccer Grassroots Courses

Gahanna Soccer Association is pleased to announce that it has been selected to host several US Soccer National and Grassroots Education
courses this year at Headley Park. Whether you have been coaching for years, are just getting started, or are a parent who is interested
in getting into coaching this spring, this is a great opportunity for you to advance your coaching skills.

And the best part… GSA will reimburse the cost of your first grassroots course!

Upcoming Coaching Courses

You have questions. We have answers.

Who is eligible for this program?

Participants must be at least 16 years old and have completed U.S. Soccer’s Introduction to Grassroots Coaching module.
The intro module is free and can be accessed
here.

Do I have to be a GSA coach to be eligible?

Anyone that meets the basic eligibility requirements may take the course, but you must have coached in the Fall 2025 season,
or be registered to coach in Spring 2026 for GSA to reimburse you for the cost of the program.

You mentioned reimbursement. Is there an upfront cost?

All participants must register and pay for their course(s) at the US Soccer Digital Coaching Center. Once you have completed your
first course, GSA will reimburse you the cost.

Will you reimburse the cost of any course I want?

GSA will reimburse the cost of any one course that we host, once per year. If you would like to attend multiple courses this year,
GSA will cover the one at the lower rate. GSA will only reimburse the cost of courses that are hosted by GSA.

When are the deadlines to register?

Registration will close the day before the course, or when we reach capacity; whichever happens first. We do expect the classes to be full,
so please register early if you are interested in participating.

I have a question about something else.

Sure thing! If you have a question specifically about GSA’s coaching policies or our reimbursement policy, please email us at
coaching@gahannasoccer.com
and we will help you out. If you have questions regarding the courses themselves, or registration for the courses, please use the
