Ed Apholz Receives NATIONAL AND STATE D LICENSE.

The D License course is the first step in the National Licensing accreditation.  The course is designed to prepare, and is a pre-requisite for the National C License.  The course focuses on the youth player that is 14 through 18 years of age. Candidates are tested in their understanding of the technical and tactical demands of the game and the developmental process necessary for players in this age group.  The course provides an opportunity to further understand the practical coaching methodology and framework necessary to prepare players and a team for competition.  The course also covers Team Management and Match Analysis.  Candidates are tested in both practical coaching ability and knowledge of the game through theory papers.

The course is 36 hours in duration and normally takes place over two weekends. Applicants must have held the E Certification for 12 months. Candidates must be 18 years of age to take this course.
 

This is a Pass/ Fail course.  Candidates will either be granted a National D License or deemed to be not ready, and issued a State Certification.  Candidates granted a National D License are required to wait 12 months before applying for a C License. Candidates receiving an NR (Not Ready) must be re-tested before upgrading to a National C license. 

We would like to congratulate Ed Apholz!
