KSYSA E Licensure Coaching Course The new "E" License (22 hours of classroom and practical field sessions) is designed for coaches working with players competing in the 6v6 (U9/U10) and 8v8 (U11/U12) formats. Coaching players between the ages of nine and twelve is arguably the most critical period for Long Term Athlete Development and the technical foundation for later tactical understanding is either successfully established, or irretrievably lost, during this stage.
