US Soccer is continuing to work on modifying Grassroots Licenses to accomodate various locations across the country and the safety concerns around the country.
Therefore there are currently two options to run US Soccer Grassroots Licenses. The first is a traditional option which would be a 2:2 (2 hours in classroom and 2 hours on the field) these can be done on the same day or on two different days. If using this model, the classroom session should ideally be done outside such as in a pavillion or in a classroom with social distancing requirements met.
The second option is called a blended option, which would be a virtual classroom session and then in person field session. These can be done on the same day or on two different days.
If your community is interested in hosting either option for a US Soccer Grassroots License (4v4, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11 or a D License) please reach out to OHTSL DOC at Marcie Schwartz at doc@ohtsl.com.
More courses will be available in Spring 2021.
