Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer coach in the Hendersonville Soccer Club!

HSC works closely with the Hendersonville Parks Department and with Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) in many areas. Both the city of Hendersonville and TSSA have strong commitments to player safety and recreational enjoyment of the sport.

HSC’s part of that commitment requires that all HSC coaches:

(a)  Certified through NYSCA (National Youth Sports Coaches Association)

Completing the NYSCA certification:

The coach must complete the NYSCA classroom certification and the soccer specific certification. The NYSCA class can be completed either in person at one of the scheduled class times see calendar or via the On-Line class (see NYSCA link below).

The cost of the NYSCA Class is $25.00 and is the responsibility of the coach – not HSC or the City of Hendersonville. This certification is transferable to other sports in Hendersonville. To take the NYSCA class on line, please follow these directions. You may want to print this page so you have the information available as you enter the website.
