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.

What each course needs

Player arrival and finish times are the ones that matter to you — the wider course window is for the coaches on the licence.
