Valley AFC supports coaching education courses through US Soccer and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Each year among the clubs in the Roanoke Valley, several "E" Certificate and "D" License courses are offered. We look forward to offering NSCAA Goalkeeper courses and Advanced Regional courses in the future.

VAFC encourages all U7-U10 recreational and academy coaches to obtain an "F" or "E" Certificate. All recreational coaches coaching U12 and above should obtain an "E" certificate or "D" license. All Premier Travel Coaches are required to hold a "D" license or NSCAA Advanced Regional. All coaches obtaining these licenses are highly encouraged to continue their education at the national level.

All VAFC coaches who attend a USSF "F", "E", or NSCAA Regional or Advanced Regional will be reimbursed in full after completion of the course. Those coaches attending a "D" License course must pass with a State or National Pass for complete reimbursement.
