In this age group, the philosophy is devoted to refining the player's technical abilities under game conditions: match- related exercises, pressure from opponents, limited time and space. The "E" is for Coaches of 9-12 Year old Players.  Basic tactics are taught at the individual and small group levels (up to 6v6), as well as basic principles of attack and defense: creating space, mobility, width, height, support, team shape, etc.  Also information on Team Management and Risk Management will be discussed.  Candidates must complete a series of precourse assignments and practice field sessions are evaluated. There is no required waiting period between the NJYS State "F" and the National "E" License. The minimum age requirement for taking the National "E" License course is 14 years old.  Candidates who take the National "E" license course and are under the age of 18 will not receive a NJYS Coaches Pass until they are 18 years old and have completed the State "F" License Course or Rutger's SAFETY Clinic.  They can obtain a Youth Trainers Pass.
