USSF Grassroots Courses
Bring Your Team
Lakeland Prep Athletic Annex
US Soccer is running three Grassroots licensing courses at Lakeland, and each one needs a real team to train. If you coach a team that fits, this is a fantastic session for your players — they'll be coached by 21 coaches working live under USSF course instructors, some of the best educators in the state and the country. It costs you nothing but an hour and a quarter.
Elite-level coaching
Your players are trained by licensed coaches being assessed by USSF instructors — the standard is high because everyone is being watched.
Roughly 75 minutes
Arrive, train, go home. Each course has its own arrival and finish time, listed on the form below.
One venue, no cost
Everything runs at Lakeland Prep Athletic Annex. There is no fee to bring a team.
