USYS University Resource Hub
What it is: USYS University is a first-ever gathering of educational resources designed to educate coaches, officials, administrators, players, and parents on a broad array of subjects so that they can perform better on, and off, the field of play. You can learn more by following this link to the USYS University homepage.
Why USYS University: Washington Youth Soccer (WYS) is focused on providing resources to improve the playing environment within our communities across all levels of competition. Our vision initially is for USYS University to be a hub for new volunteer coaches not only to learn “How to Lead an Effective Warm Up” or “How to Create a Learning Environment in Sport” – courses currently available – but also to explore additional resources from organizations like Soccer Parenting or the U.S. Center for Mental Health & Sport.
