Mandatory Coaching Requirements

No adult is permitted to coach, assist or help out with NSC players, teams or programs in any capacity without first completing all adult registration requirements below AND being in possession of an MA Youth Soccer credentials lanyard for the CURRENT Fall-Spring ‘soccer year’ (e.g Fall 2021 – Spring 2022)

No prior soccer experience is necessary, just enthusiasm, and completion of mandatory registration requirements.
