MLS announced on Tuesday that the groundbreaking partnership between Major League Soccer and the French Football Federation will begin its fourth iteration, providing 20 MLS youth academy coaches with world-class training through a yearlong development course which culminates with earning their Elite Formation Coaching License.
It is the same course and training demands the FFF mandates of its domestic coaches, but it is customized for North America’s needs and accelerates Major League Soccer’s collective expertise in youth development.
The program incorporates features unique to each MLS market allowing coaches to better serve their respective club with learnings from this continuing coaching education course.
