A selection committee will be formed by the TEC and will review and approve the selection of Head Coaches for each Premier Elite team. Preferential consideration will be given to Head Coach candidates who have the following qualifications:

Coaching Certification (one or more of the following):

• NSCAA Advanced National or higher level diploma
• USSF ‘B’ or higher level license
• Dutch Federation KNVB Advance / International or higher level license
• UEFA ‘B’ or higher level diploma
• English Football Association FA Level 3 or higher level license
• Brazilian ‘B’ or higher level license

Playing Experience (one or more of the following):

• two or more years of semi-professional or professional soccer
• four or more years seasons of collegiate play

The Selection Committee will carefully check the references of Head Coach candidates and ensure that before any Head Coach candidate is confirmed, the candidate comes to WWP and conducts a guest session so they can be observed to ensure they like working with youth, have the ability to work with youth players and have an enthusiastic and motivating personality.

The Selection Committee will be committed to providing an excellent coaching staff to fulfill the goals and commitment to each player and family of a team. HCs will be contracted and compensated by each team, based on past success, experience (both playing and coaching), and licensure.  Head Coaches are selected prior to tryouts by the selection committee with input from the previous year Team Manager.
