All coaches must meet these minimum coaching standards to coach a team in the WPL

The League is hosting opportunities for coaches without any approved coaching credentials to receive their entry-level coaching diplomas through United Soccer Coaches OR the US Soccer Coaching License Pathway. The WPL accepts both.

Coaches managing teams in the WPL must meet these minimum coaching standards to coach in the Dev, Copa and Classic levels of play. This minimum coaching diploma requirement does not meet Super League Coaching Standards. Coaches must hold a National Diploma, or equivalent, to coach in the NPL Super League.

Coaches can start these initial courses immediately by taking the Foundation Diplomas online. This includes: 4v4, 7v7/9v9, & 11v11/Pre-National. Upon completion, please SAVE a copy of your Diploma for confirmation with the WPL and your Club. These Diplomas may also be taken in-person which is highly recommended.  

For coaches without any credentials, they must complete the Foundations Diplomas to comply with current league minimum coaching standards. These courses can be taken online at anytime or in-person as the Diplomas are scheduled. Deadline: Dec 2004.

United Soccer Coaches Entry Level Diplomas: 

• 4 v 4 Diploma (online) or Level 1 Diploma (in-person)
• 7 v 7 / 9 v 9 Diploma (online) or Level 2 Diploma (in-person)
• 11 v 11 / Pre-National (online) or Level 3 Diploma (in-person)
