|  | Coaching Certification ProgramClinics are not mandatory for House League Coaches, but are highly recommended for several reasons:
1. It is a great introduction to the game for those who have just started coaching. 2. It gives a progression path to those who may wish to increase their coaching knowledge. 3. It helps a club identify coaches who may add value to the Rep and Player Development programs within the club. What better way to become a great Coach and help the children become the best they can be!? The Ontario Soccer Association offers the following "Stages of Development and Coaching":
