The National Soccer Coaches Association of America is proud to announce Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) as an Official Education Partner.

ENYYSA exists to promote and enhance the game of soccer for the youth of Eastern New York between the ages of 5 and 19 years old, and to encourage the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators. Effective immediately, the partnership will aid in bringing NSCAA Coaching Academy courses to the teams and coaches participating in ENYYSA.

“ENYYSA is delighted to be able to offer an expanded menu of courses that offer educational opportunities to all who want to learn about the teaching of the beautiful game,” commented Tim Bradbury, ENYYSA Director of Coaching Instruction. “I believe that this partnership means we will have courses suitable for both interested parents and professional coaches.” 

ENYYSA President Richard Christiano added, “It’s a privilege to enhance our coaching curriculum with the NSCAA coaching diplomas so we can now reach our youth coaches with a more user-friendly program of instruction to better educate the new coach.”

As an Official Education Partner, ENYYSA will bring NSCAA Junior Level V, Junior Level VI and Junior Level VI Supplement courses to the area for the benefit of its youth coaches. Among other things, ENYYSA and NSCAA will work together to promote these courses and bring premier coaching education to the Eastern New York soccer community. 

“The NSCAA Education Department is delighted to collaborate in the delivery of coaching education with our colleagues in Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association,” said Ian Barker, NSCAA Director of Coaching Education. “The real winners are the coaches of ENYYSA who will have a greater menu of educational options to choose from and benefit from the excellent membership opportunities provided by the NSCAA.”
